    Great technique. Just used this. One thing is during removal add a socket to end of ball joint so it doesn't spin off the press as easy

    This video is a life saver! I’m also doing a power steering rack and “while I’m in there” realized I need to refresh a lot of the suspension.

    Great work sir. Works perfectly and you awesome tutorial saved me a TON of time fiddling with that kit!
    Extra Tip: If the old ball joints are stuck in pretty well , putting the other cone shaped adapter or a socket over the threaded rod tip will allow you to get it started without the ball joint stud slipping off the tool .

    i’ve heard you have to tac weld the upper balljoint to the upper control arm since the hole itself can get bigger have you had any issues with this way ?

      I think people do this with ball joints without the c clips, such as the stock. They must be having issues with the balljoint getting loose.
      I never had that problem with the c clip.

      @@madmiata1887 Thanks for the video, I am curious how aggressive the driving has been in that time since it seems the snap ring's doing it's job.

      @malcolmbellon7411 I did a track day and a couple autocross events. No issues. Sold the car unfortunately.
