New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/DMSBJ00005
This video shows you how to install new lower ball joints from TRQ on your 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Car and truck 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 process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Coat the new ball joints with anti seize then press them in..... next time you have to replace them they will come out nice and smooth 😉

[@musicismeds]

Any wandering after installing knurled ball joints? Jeep calls for non knurled ball joints. Go with SPICER. I myself installed knurled ball joints and got horrible wandering after installing. Great video for following procedures for installing but can be misleading. Bottom ball joint nut may be a 1 1/8th. Take your time and double-check all torque specs.

Well beyond done.

[@smokeyyy_da_tree]

I gotta re do mine i bought the ones with the zerk fittin rubs on the cv axle for lower zerk

[@brucegibson818]

Love these TRQ pre loosened nut and bolt videos... Just show what a pita it really is ffs. Real life.... Just buy all new bolts and angle grind the pos off . Anti seize everything including the front of the hubs because you damn well know the knuckle,hub and rotor have become one and 1/2 the time the axle shaft too. Wouldn't hurt to rust encapsulate the knuckle and outer axle shaft too. Unless you like brown of course.

[@el.niko.]

upper and lower are the same part number? and whats the part number? thnx

[@matrixbikes]

Yeah, right! The knuckle just falls off the ball joints. Stop bullshiting! Misleading video!
