Your video is so full of useful and insightful information. Thank you…
but why did you omit all of the handheld footage? That would have been so
much more helpful.
Dude, perfect video. I have to replace both the ball joints up front.
Thanks!
You’re no Scotty Kilmer…thank God! Good video, packed full of
information.
Started off ok with the handheld camera, but a few minutes into it, you
have no more handheld, cant see anything you’re doing and it turns into an
explanation instead of an illustration.
i liked this video. i have the same exact model grand cherokee and when i
turn sharply, i hear a clicking sound and it just bothers me so much. the
steering does have alot of play as well. i didnt know if i should just
tighten up the steering from the gear box or go ahead and change the ball
joints. i am leaning toward the changing the ball joints but the process is
just a pain! do u think the clicking sound when i turn sharply is a result
of bad ball joints? (btw, nothing is hitting anything)
def
not to hijack this guys vid cause he’s the man, but i always jack on the
suspension pivot or the cross member or anything thats not the frame or the
unibody because what ppl don’t get time after time is that jacking on the
pinch rails and unibody/frame causes paint to chip faster over time and
causes the birth of rust!
Yes. I use the ads as a source of revenue. You can skip most ads after only
a few seconds, and it’s a small “price” to pay to gain new knowledge. My
videos are designed for the newbie. Many people know their way around a
wrench, but are afraid to try complicated maintenance. Thanks for watching!
Clicking on sharp turns usually points to your CV axles being worn. Take a
look at them and you may well find that the rubber boots are torn.
Replacing the CV axles is probably easier and quicker than changing the
balljoints. There’s a video of the process here on YT, just search “jeep zj
cv axles”.
Love your videos, dude – friendly and informative. Out of interest, do you
have that jackstand on the axle tube? Where do you actually jack? I do it
on the frame rail behind the front control arm.
I jack in the same place. Right behind the control arm. Once I have it in
the air, I put the jackstand on the axle tube.
if you can feel a loose ball joint just by pulling on the rotor its pretty
bad lol
Excellent video!! Well done sir.
Here’s a tip. Don’t take the axle nut off. Just leave it attached to the
wheel bearing and pull the whole thing as one piece. Unless you’re
replacing a wheel bearing, no need to take the 36mm nut off.
Seriously, a commercial in the middle watching of the video? Otherwise,
very good video, very informative…a little too much jabber for me but
there are many people out there that do need to be held by the hand and
dragged step-by-step bolt-by-bolt
if you got an adjustable work light, for over your shoulder, that would be
awesome
great video!
