Cory Husby says:

Can I do one at a time such as, do the bottom by leaving the top still in and dangle the whole spindle and pop the bottom ball joint out and reinstall new, then do the opposite?

jackie weaver says:

You are a great teacher.

Riverratsd says:

Thank you for posting this. Just finished installing my ball joints by following your instructions. Worked like a charm. Do I need to do an alignment? I only did the upper and lower ball joints.

Riverratsd says:

25:15 You forgot to install the boot. That sucks

jhitt79 says:

Looks like one of the sway bar link bushings is on wrong.

Bill Guay says:

Thanks very professional and helpfull

Iguana Pete says:

If the ball joint has a snap ring why does it have to be pressed in? Why not file the hole larger so the ball joint can be tapped in?

John Smith says:

Upper ball joint replacement for 4.0liter

Will says:

Should I preload the suspension before I tourqe down.

Anthony Yang says:

Your tutorials are the best and include the torque specs! Thank you for posting these videos.

Arnold Cain says:

What is the model number of your ball joint separator tool

CrotchetRocket says:

Should you grease this thing after install or is good for a while?

Puppy Power says:

Thanks for the video, and the torque information all in 1 place! I thought I had to rewatch the video again, but you thought of that too!

gloworm106 says:

I noticed this only because I recently changed my sway bar end links, but it looks like the bushing on top of the sleeve is oriented in the wrong direction? These look like the Moog problem solver end links if I'm correct.

Raul Garcia says:

Excellent video

Philip Beninato says:

I just wanna know why no one has posted ball joint video on 92 for Explorer sport 4×4 I know why

Michael Elkins says:

I have found that freezing the ball joint and taking a Propane torch and heating the control arm, JUST a little bit, the ball joint slips right in, then I put the grease fitting on then slap some ice on it control arm.

I have a small deep that that I use for freezing parts.

David Tena says:

Eres chingon your the best brother congratulations nice video

Jerry Wilderman says:

Always thorough and informative. Great job!

Johnny boner says:

your upper sway bar bushing is wrong its upside down lol

C A says:

Is it my imagination or lack of knowledge: the sway bar end link looks like a lot of threads through the top meaning too tight plus isn't that second bushing upside down!

Horn Pub says:

What is the tool part # @10:54? Please link correct tools, the one linked is trash for this truck.

big lion says:

Levi says:
