Excellent tutorial.
Thank you for the training video – you are the best , very detailed with tips and pit falls. I am saving hundreds of dollars in labor cost. I have taken your recommendation and installed the Bilstein struts and shocks on my F150 5.4 3V Lariat. My outer tie rods were very loose, shocks had no rebound, and ball joint is next while every thing is off.
Great Video
I enjoy your videos. Because you cover everything from start to finish in the proper order while always being cautious where safety is a concern. Also pointing out the dos and don'ts. Your work is excellent and you professionally present yourself as such. I will try the Mopar rust penetrating spray. I have tried WD = 40, PB Blaster, and Liquid wrench. those three seem to be about the same
I was wondering what that noise was….
You must have big dog compressor hiding in the background there! Nice Video very helpful.
My mechanic wants to charge 2.5 hours for this job, is that reasonable?
Exelente jus the rotor!! Do that part it's one!?
Keep making these videos man! Direct, to the point instructions! Couldn’t be any better.
Thanks awesome training
Has anyone replaced the lower ball joint without discounting the knuckle from the upper control arm? Would that be possible if the knuckle, and brake assembly were supported by strapping them up to the frame?
Thanks again for great video. My milwaukee impact wouldnt drive it through, I had to use a breaker bar to turn the press. 252k mile truck. My ball joint kit didnt have the right cup for the bottom, but borrowed one from my bearing press kit. had some accidental light scoring on the side from smacking the top. My moog kit didnt come with a compound. Is there other aftermarket stuff I can buy or use? Anti seize or something?
Thanks for posting all these videos! I have a 2011 Ford E-150, 50th anniversary edition . I noticed a popping noise on my LH side at 56k miles. I replaced both lower ball joints which I purchased through Ford, as NAPA, AZ, Oreilly and Speedway A.P. said dealer item only. Figures!
I suppose I'll be replacing them again at around 100k. On my 96 E- 150, the lower ball joints lasted to just over 60k miles. Didn't have a problem with my 79 E-150, with the older version of the I beam
design.
Thank you, Sir Love your videos!!!!
Does the 2005 expedition have a cabin air filter if so where?
hey Maku why did you work in the ground my knees hurts me just watching you buddy.
Just my 2 cents. I have found, when installing ball joints on any vehicle, leave the ball joint in the freezer for several hours overnight if possible. That small amount of shrinkage can be JUST enough to help drive it in easier.
Can anybody tell me the brand of c-clamp he is using. I’m going to be doing the upper and lower ball joints on the passenger and driver side on my truck. I cannot find a c-clamp online with the hole through It. I have the adapter to go over the bearings just need c-clamp.
