Great video. Very concise and nice close up camera work. Get yourself a pickle fork if you're going to do this. A drift pin helps aligning the bolt holes too.

This was AWESOME! Incredible close-ups. Zero misunderstanding of where all my effort will be spent. One question: Why did you do this job? What was it that made you believe this repair would help?

the ball joint was slightly loose

[@chickenbomb30]

please people REMEMBER TO TORQUE YOUR BOLTS

Hi, I had difficulty pushing the ball joint bolt and I used sludge hammer to push it and I kinda damaged the bolt and it’s in half way but not all the way. I can pull back now or push it all the way. Any suggestions please?

[@OneTrickTech]

are you trying to remove the bolt or re-install it? And where is it damaged? the threaded parts or the bolt head?

Do you add grease to the control arm or is it already ready to go

[@OneTrickTech]

its ready to go. no grease needed
