When replacing upper ball joint, do some automakers suggest that you
replace the entire upper control arm as opposed to replacing the ball joint
itself? I have an ’05 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and they say the upper ball
joint is non-replaceable.
Yes you should get the vehicle aligned afterwards. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I am going to do this myself,the tire shop wanted almost $300 which
included an alignment.Is a alignment necessary after this is done?
Thanks for wathcing. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Do you happen to have a lower ball joint video as well? I’m looking into
doing a full front end rebuild on a 00, everything except the gear box and
struts or shocks.
It should be torqued down, we currently do not have an auto repair video
that shows this. If you have a Haynes or Chiltons manual it should cover
the repair with torque specs.
No you should be okay.
Thanks for the reply, now he needsto know how tight to make the nut o the
bottom ball joint ?? Please. Should it be torqued ?
Why are you using a carpenters claw hammer for auto repair? 😛 Seriously
though, thanks for the vid, well done!!
one real important question i have, do you calculate the length of the
extension into the torque spec on the nuts? EXCELLENT video by the way 🙂
Why is it that the entire control arm has to be replace on earlier models?
I bought a lower ball joint by itself for my 06 crown vic p71 then I seen
this video. I’m just curious.
Thanks for this video this will really help me out.
We’ll keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this
repair in the future.
yes any time u replace suspension parts u need to
so is it recommended to replace both left and right and upper and lower
ball joints at the same time? and also tie rods at same time?
We took our lincoln upper and lower ball joint off without marking them for
alignment. how critical is this when we put the new parts on /???
Thanks for the great video! wish you success for the future. I have a 2001
Crown vic and your videos really help me knowing about my car. I have one
issue though, when I turn the stearing wheel towards the extreme right or
left when stationary or during u-turn, I hear a THUD sound. Please advice
You can replace the one that’s bad, but the other side may not be far
behind it.
Wow!! So its that easy to change???
Is there any way you can make a video fo you removing and installing the
lower ball joint of a 96 grand marqiues?
Where you need to disturb some of the suspension pieces it wouldn’t be a
bad idea to get it aligned.
I want your garage!
You may want to check the steering components and also the axles.

I’m going to be replacing the lower control arms and upper ball joints on
my 94 grand marquis is there anything else i should go ahead and change
while i’m in there. Also do I need to make the marks on the alignment cams
since I will have to get a wheel alignment right after.
When we make the alignment mark in the video, it help you to re-align the
vehicle so that it doesn’t become to far out of alignment. If you didn’t
mark them, once the ball joints are installed you may want to have an
alignment done pretty quickly so that the tires do not wear out.
