I always wondered why my trucks steering and handling turned to shit after replacing ball joints… nothing is likely the same after getting beat and pryed to death. I think doing this yourself where you can use time and lots of penetrating oil would work better…may as well replace the axle seals while its apart. Since the parts are junk I'd be using a torch a bit more too.
Invest in some good air tools they are not nearly as bulky and way more torque .
all that,,,,,,for that 8000$ bill
No how about telling me where i can get EMF joints for my 2001 Ram 2500, they are out of stock from everyone.
Aviation mech trick for install. Heat the knuckle and put the ball joint in a freezer or better in liquid nitrogen right before install. Ball joint will fall into place, no pressing no beating.
Both of you r good machanics
Why wasnt any heat used on the steering knuckle just curious
I ordered a set they going in today.
