Hey guys,

This is my newest video that will show you how to change out the lower ball joint in our trucks.
There are two videos, one is long and specific, the other is short and summarizes everything.

In-depth, Ultimate guide:

Short, quick version:

Let me know what you think!
**Also, if the video was helpful, give it a “thumbs up” on YouTube (it helps me out, thanks)***

Great video! I like the fact that you used hand tools.

Good video! I did this last week. For anyone doing this without air tools, get a can of pb blast for all the nuts that need to be removed. Pretty easy and straight forward job. I just used a hammer to pound out the old ball joint and then I used a press to put the new one in.

Thanks! I try to use tools most people have so that anyone can follow along and do the job themselves!

A big breaker bar also helps a lot!
