Great video as usual!!! Looks like a good idea to do a brake job at the same time.
Best video on YouTube for Jeep Xj's.
He went way more then20 ft lbs on the caliper bolts!
Will this work for an 89
Thanks M Shadows
Do you have a vid on this for a jeep liberty 03 3.7
You forgot the c clip on the ball joint..
“May need to put some force behind it” casually stands on a tight rope**
you never mentioned the angled piece needed to keep the ball joint pressed in evenly, and the top cap of the press magically disappears while you ware pressing the upper joint in. You pressed the upper on bare metal.
Very helpful. Thank you !!!
Where does the snap ring go and what is the purpose
Just finished ball joints on right hand side of my XJ – all good and it's thanks to your video. One correction – it's 36mm for the Axle nut.
READ THIS FIRST!!! Cory Gurney is right! I followed this video step by step and it led me into a trap! 1aauto said to install the top first, then the bottom and you cant with the tools they have here. watch it closely at 12:48, the lower ball joint needs another couple millemeters to go to be pressed in all the way, and then the video edits it out, and its magically pressed all the way in. I spent an hour of back breaking, Knuckle busting, swearing session trying to use all different types of spare junk around my shop to make it press in the last bit, and it kept popping off with all the pressure. Finally I went inside and watched some other videos and read cory's comment on here and it became clear, 1aauto was doing it wrong, and edited out that part of the video showing them do some funky stuff. they knew they messed up and just didnt want to edit there video the right way, shotty work 1aauto, fix this video! The correct way to install is the bottom one first, watch other videos online, its easy to see.
he mentioned the new lower ball joint had a snap ring included with it, yet never showed installing the snap ring. I would doubt that vehicle used a snap ring since I have owned several and all replacement ball joints have always included a snap ring yet you can not install it as ball joint is not tall enough on most of those vehicles. and since they didnt show it being installed I am guessing I am right, but it should have been mentioned, or shown installed if I am wrong, leaving out parts can be confusing to people, even if it seems basic to others.
So you did or did not need to use the c clamp on the lower ball joint?
Outstanding Information! I am amazed by the poor procedures used by most of the "experts" doing these videos. Your procedure, including the removal of the axle nut, is about perfect. I learned the hard way to remove the axle nut before removing the tire.
My only complaint when he's torquing some of the bolts/nuts he gets to his torque then you see him push it further, not recheck torque but full on going passed torque 13:55 is a prime example. I might be seeing it wrong or the audio isn't synced properly but it's showing him get the click then push further then another click when he releases. So pretty sure he over torqued at least 3 or 4 bolts/nuts…
This video was incredibly helpful. I didn't disconnect my tierod, just supported the knuckle after I took it off. I was pretty intimidated but this video gave me confidence. After 280000 miles, my stock ones were shot. I recommend replacing axle ujoints and wheel bearing assembly as well. If you're already in there, assemble with new goodies.
My big socket for the axle nut was too big to fit through the hole in my rim. I read other people saying they had trouble with the axle spinning. Just put it in 4wd and it stays put.
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you very much : very good and helpful video and BIG PLUS for saying all the VALUES to torque the nuts !!! You are Great Pro : THANK YOU for your time making/sharing this video !!!
Great video…No Doubt. GREAT. Is it the same for a 1995 Grand Cherokee ZJ ? Cheers
I have a 2014 jeep Cherokee trailhawk that needs a lower ball joint replacement. Will the removal and install be the same as
Seen in this video
I was hoping he would explain if the axle pulls itself in to the hub. At the beginning you just tap it out of the hub. Does the axle shaft pull itself into the hub when you tighten the 36 mm wheel nut?
is it any point of only changing the upper ball joint or do i have to change both??
Nice video, clear , concise and to the point. No pointless jabber. I also like the added torque specs. Thanks for taking the time to teach.
Brilliant video. Not a criticism, just a helpful attempt to clear up confusion for those following along, narrator said "38 mm" at the very end when reinstalling the axle nut when he meant 36 mm. I'm sure he just misspoke since when he loosened it at the beginning he said 36 mm for the same bolt (and it is 36 mm). As another commenter noted, you'll also need a 28 mm socket which is not listed at the beginning.
you know you did more work all you had to do is remove those three 13mm 12 point bolts from the hub pull it out with the shaft and boom just the open knuckle
just something I noticed.. you didn't include the 28mm socket on the tools list at the beginning of the video.. now I gotta wait on my wife to get home so I can go to the store and buy one lol.. but I should have paid more attention to the video before I started.. but otherwise great video!
super helpful
