New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASB...
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. This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2005-15 Nissan Xterra.

This is why shops charge so much labour, they dismantle half of your vehicle in order to replace a part.

[@keithc.1824]

Question: Why did you replace the lower ball joint on the old rusty control arm, then at the 12:03 time mark you have a brand new lower control arm with an already installed new lower ball joint? I also noticed new sway bar end-links.

[@kevinducharme7028]

Lol. I had to come to the comments to see if anyone mentioned this.

[@thecount1001]

holy crap. not a job for the impatient or under-tooled.....

[@henrymadrigal3838]

friend, good video on how to change the lower ball joint, a tip repairs the rust before it's too late

[@jimk4693]

How much time do you think a shop would quote for this work.

[@ngochuybk]

You tightened the 32mm bolt of the axle to 101 foot pound. In the manual, Nissan said 202 - 268 foot pound. Is it safe to tighten only 101 foot pounds?

[@talalgwiri]

no mechanic in here will measure how much to tight the bolts !!!! it is just not doable ! i wish they do
