I have a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SE. The torx ball join bolt is not removable from the old hydraulic lift support. I took the part to the dealer and they told me this. So instead of the NAPA part here, buy from Advance Auto part# 4535 (SKU 43645 71016), about $22 each. They come with the torx-ball joint already attached. All you need to do is screw out the old ones and screw in the new.

I have no idea why you would want to put Locktite on the bolt as shown. It is not a critical part and shouldn’t come loose under normal circumstances.

It looks like this happens to a lot of people in Ct. I have a 06 same prob and my company had 800 07 Caravan many with same issue. THe body shop said grease it but It sounded like metal scraping medal. Thank a lot to James Gandofini stand in Guy !

Thanks so much! We have a 2007 GC we call “Betty Blue” and it needs some TLC. This is now one thing we can do ourselves! Thanks!

If I recall it is a torx style bolt. I recall the exact socket size but I had it in my torx set. You can get a torx set of sockets at harbor freight for $10 and these days its a but as I’m sure you will use them for other stuff.

TheGalleryGoddess says:

Great video! Mine sticks, too!  What type(size) of socket do you use?
