New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1ASBJ00081
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1997 Jeep Wrangler
1998 Jeep Wrangler
1999 Jeep Wrangler
2000 Jeep Wrangler
2001 Jeep Wrangler
2002 Jeep Wrangler
2003 Jeep Wrangler
2004 Jeep Wrangler
2005 Jeep Wrangler
2006 Jeep Wrangler

I honestly can't follow anything you say to do when you use dikes to remove cotter pins. Needle nose dude. If you're gonna use dikes at least cut the ends off the cotter pin so you have to remove less. Also, a screwdriver works well
