I got a 2006 limited edition that's red and gold. This was the most helpful video I found so far on all of this. A lot of info. Hell yea
Nice!
I've done all the ball joints on my 03. I used an Astro tool set and a breaker bar to get the ball joint movement started coming out. Once it starts moving I switch to a cordless impact. Before installing the new ball joint I use a cordless Dremel/Milwaukee with a small sanding wheel to polish the inside of the ball joint socket then apply a small amount of anti seize or bearing grease. Then I carefully start pressing in the new ball joint with the breaker bar. Once it appears to start straight, I switch to the cordless impact until seated. 291k miles now.
Thank you for the content made my job on my 03 tb so much easier
Nice!!
Lot of good helpful suspension tips in this video! Nice job! I got a steering wheel shimmy I got to figure out.
Hello Nathan Rohrbough,
Loved your video. Just finished a full front suspension on my 2007 Saab 9-7x (aka Sabblzr, same GMT-360 platform).
I'm in Michigan and let me tell you it was much more difficult being in the rust belt. I had to removed the lower control arms and use a press, AND heat the collar for the lower ball-joints.
I had heard about people using a hammer and it was very interesting to watch you knock out the uppers out so easily....very fun to watch and see it actually work....but not in my area.
Keep posting. You offer a lot of detail for us DIY guys.
Nice!!
I have the same kit for removal, and in the manual(I know, we don't need no stinken' manual!), it tells you what parts to use for removal and installation. There is a socket/adapter(#10/16-Lower) that will go over the boot/bolt so you don't have to remove the boot.
Nice!!
thank you...owe you a cold beer!!!
What’s up Nate man!! I see the adjustable ratchet is still going strong. Thanks for the vid!!!
02 GMC envoy is the same platform mine has the same flavored lowers
Nice!
Im gonna help my dad replace the lower control arms on both sides on our 2006 chevy trailblazer lt because they are causing our tires to go bald on the inside
Nice!!
I also bent the exact same piece from the extraction tool. Got there eventually. Its not an easy job !
Looks relatively rust free. Mine is up on blocks and I have to pull the driver's side axle shaft.
What made you get rid of the red 02'?
