- Replacing the upper A arm ball joint on a C5 Corvette. There are links below to the ball joints I purchased off amazon and also the ball joint press tool which worked pretty well.

that’s a sick vette!!
Thank you!!
got this coming up myself and the damn bushings
I could think of a lot worse cars to have to do that on.
“ I’m gonna have to cut the video for a minute and use profanity “ Hahahahah
Although free it a valuable tool.
BRC COACH & TRANSIT great job as always my dude.
What noise was it making? I have a slight clicking noise only when I back up and turn the wheel to the left. It goes away after I straighten out.
I’d say you got a wheel bearing unit doing bad.
Hey bro I have a c6 2007 with only 17009 miles on her she drives straight as an arrow my question to you is the c5 and c6 suspension almost the same?
C5 and c6 are identical suspension.
@@JWsGarage thanks bro love the c5 my 6 the same color getting extreme wide body right now 😉

What type of rims are those on the vette and are they 19's?
These are Iforged Aero 19x10.5 front 20x12.5 rear and I have a second set of rears that are 19x13.5 Iforged is not around any longer but if you send me a DM I can tell you who is still building them in SoCal.
@@JWsGarage thanks for your response back. I really like the rims if you could let me know where I could get a set that would be appreciated.
Thanks

How I know my ball joints it's bad ?
I like to jack up the car so the tire is off of the ground and by using a pry bar under the tire and off the ground lift up and feel for slop in the wheel. You can also shake the wheel too and bottom.
But ultimately if their over 10 years old and 100,000mi it’s time to change them guys out.
@@JWsGarage thanks but if lwant to change the lower one do Ineed to keep the top one connected so Ican disconnect the bottom one while there and replace it there ? Do I need to do alignment after that or no ? Thank you the car have 70 000 km
@@link9alink9a71 no sir. I typically just remove the entire spindle myself, I don’t recall what method I used in this video but it was just one of many ways. But again I like to just get the spindle out of my way most the time. Also some suppliers sell and entire liver A arm really cheap. I think there are links in the video to them as well.
@@link9alink9a71 also yes sir alignment every 6k mi per mfr recommendations ( no one does) or at least once a year.
@@JWsGarage thank you 👍
