This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Modern 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.

I started working on this project the other day and was absolutely struggling (lack of videos for this make and model). You're video absolutely saved me from giving up! I couldn't fit the ball joint press on, and your recommendation to cut the thread off allowed me to complete the job. Super grateful, and the timing of the upload is impeccable. You rock!

This was a good demonstration of how to remove the LBJ's on a Jeep Liberty KJ.
You filled in the technical things like torque specs for me and procedure. I watched a do it still attached video and my ball joint remover kit wouldnt work and actually tried that way ended up putting back together temporarily. I was thinking on trying again and remove the whole knuckel for the space and cut the threaded part off so i could use the tool and here it is a video that confirmed the way I was thinking. thanks so much for this video i hate to send out and spend my money for things i can do.
Excellent mechanic and great explanations/camera work! Thank you!!
considering the tools I did the job with on jack stands I've got some skills. I'm definitely a useful, resourceful human being.
I love this. None of this hardly applies if your working on the ground like most of us. I've also watched videos that don't require taking the knuckle off.
Mission done thanks again for the video just saved hundreds doing myself. One thing I would add. the ball joint tool end was kinda slipping off the cut ball joint, could just have been cut slightly angled. I put a small radiator hose clamp around the tool end tightened about half way on the end, made like a small edge and it kept the cut ball joint in place to push the old ball joint out. if that tip helps anyone.
+greenbaywacky Thanks for the tip! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Very good video. Mentioning the foot-pounds is very useful. I'll be repairing my ball joints with TRQ parts.
Thank you for this video although I struggled with a lot of the bolts I was able to complete it. None of them came off as easily as yours did lol
Thank you very very much for this very useful video, i own Jeep liberty 2003 and suffering from this problem actually but am driving slowly until i solve this problem
I did everything so far in the removal process but the upper ball joint is spinning to where I can’t get the bolt loose the rest of the way, so I’m going to cut it off carefully. Having an impact wrench is helpful too…not sure I’d want to do this job without it. Also you have the benefit of a lift; I’m working in a muddy, cold yard. P.S. my lower ball joint broke completely off the car.
Trq,always good info
Great video. Thank you.
Very helpful , thank you so much!
Very useful video thank you 👍
Good video 👍
Hey man me and my bud are having hell rn. Can only afford to replace ball joint. But front lower on 07 compass has a ring of some sort
My mechanic takes the ball joint to a machine shop to get pressed in. No idea you could do this at home
2006 Jeep Liberty has a taper on the axle side that will not allow any thing flat to take it out. Took 4 hours to remove it how the video shows and had to modify tools in order to do it.
what size is the nut on the ball joint?
If ya don't want to remove the whole knuckle, how do you do this same procedure?
What ball joint press parts are used? there is not 1A Auto parts link to them. Thanks
Wow... That was easy. Now do the driver side with ABS🤣
Is a grease gun required?
Can you remove lower control arm bushing conected to shock
And on average what should the labor cost be if I purchase control arm kits myself?
I love itttttttt
can these ball joints be greased when they start to make noise ?
+@elicha12 Our ball joints are pre-greased and sealed for a long life and do not require the extra maintenance typically required by greaseable versions.
The castle nut and cotter pin was actually taken off of the tie rod not the ball joint. He put the wrong nut on the tie-rod BUT who cares…. It still works right!? Lol they’ll never know the difference anyway… as long as it’s tight and safe. Lol
Great video hes almost as goo as me
Charlie sheen doing mechanical work now?
Gracia por el video saludos
Why take the whole thing apart.
Same reason he bungeed the tie rod out of the way. It make the job easier.
It doesn't mention taking off the rubber boot from the new ball joint before pressing it in. That should be pointed out, if you look close it's obvious but I ruined the rubber boot pushing it through. Do u sell just the rubber boot?
No. You don't take off the rubber.
I pressed my thru. It didn't hurt the boot. Maybe yours was on an angle a part during the pressing portion of the job
I think i would of changed that tie rod end it looks like ass
why cant anyone ever show us with basic tools on jack stands?
