New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ib/1ASBJ00032
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 1988-2000 Chevy C/K1500.

Why are the bolts up??
The torque values are very different for lubricated (i. e. anti-seize or thread lube of any type) vs. dry threads. Many bolts have been broken or stripped by using dry torque values on lubricated threads due to over tightening.
Thats what I call getting to the point of the video and not wasting a minute!! excellent and THANK YOU! take a lesson all you diy video instructables out there…. cut the back stories and side track stories, cut to the chase, and get the job DONE!
That ball joint has been replaced once or more before. OEM ball joints have pop rivets not nuts and bolts. Misleading information.
You don’t have to take off the brakes. Also, stock ball joints on these trucks have to be drilled out because of the rivets
Stock chevy requires you to drill out the upper ball joint rivets… miss leading video to say the least very disappointing
