You saved me a bundle of cash. I watched your video. I investigated my control arms/ ball joints assemblies on my 2002 Ford Explorer. The control arms were in good shape. The ball joints were shot. I pressed out the old and in the new. Both sides were installed with relative ease. The tools did the work. I would not have attempted the job if I had not seen your work. Thanks for bolstering my confidence.
Hey buddy what size socket you use for sleeving the thread
Thank you! I like the way you teach, simple and to the point! Thanks again!
Just did the passenger side today tomorrow the driver side THANKS A MILLION
Does having the lower arm free put stress on the front axle?
Thanks for the video, helped drastically
That ball joint went bad 5 years ago.
Thanks a million for the video I thought I had to replace the whole whole control arm
Thank you Nathan I don't have a lot of money to be throwing away and this saved my butt. Plus I like working on my own stuff and this was a great step by step helps a lot.
