New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASB...
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 video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2004-2009 Dodge Durango.

Great Job.. I'm usually doing old classic car stuff. You have old school knowledge on new school stuff.

[@kevinvarnes4414]

Good video, but I wouldn't remove the wheel bearing and hub unless you plan to replace it with a new one. Usually pounding the bearing out of the knuckle will damage it (unless you are able to force it out using the bearing retaining bolts from the back side which can be difficult). You should be able to get the knuckle on/off the car with the bearing still assembled to it.

Thanks so much for the excellent instruction. Best I've seen. Have a great day.

[@davecox5282]
