    One of the better videos on CZcams for this more difficult ball joint. Your narration and camera shots made for an easy to understand video.

      What would you say is a reasonable price for labor per side for this job, not including the part cost?

      thank you for the comment Paul Andre. it gets frustrating sometimes when the camera gets in the way of working, but i will remember what you posted and continue to get the best camera angle possible.

      took me less than an hour. i charged 15 bucks, i dont do it for the money. under $200 maybe? including the part

    I like the way you used a jack to raise the lower control arm off the knuckle. Very civilized, no sweat.

    Good video, thanks for the upload.
    One suggestion, when you have the issue of the castle nut to far below the cotter pin hole, add a washer or 2 under the nut.

      great idea Chris, thanks for the comment.

      My thought exactly, easy in the comfort of your home. One other tip if you have to drill a new hole for a cotter pin, whether it's a round or especially if it's a threaded shaft. I find it a lot easier to grind or file a small flat on the shaft to start the drill. Just did the whole front end on a Magnum wagon. 2 lower ball joints each side???😊

      the ball joint i was using was not adjustable. i would recommend using an alignment shop.

      @elh4x4doinstuff49  Před 3 lety

      yes, it was easy for "me" to take it completely off and work it bench side. thanks for the comment Drone Innovation.

  • @sethhays5525
    @sethhays5525 Před 3 lety

    How many miles are on that car? Since the ball joint has a grease seek I would assume it has been changed before.

    • @elh4x4doinstuff49
      @elh4x4doinstuff49  Před 3 lety

      i think it was close to 75,000 miles.

      Look at the wheel at the end of the video - price you pay for super low profile tires with way too oversized wheel = suspension lasts half the time as stock due to extra pounding. Probably rides like crap too.

      wasn't necessary doing it that way. none of the components that affect/ adjust alignment were loosened or removed. thank you for the comment
