I did it! My 2001 B4000 now has new lower ball joints, upper control arms, shocks and camber bolts. I took it in for a professional alignment, but everything else I did myself - with your help! Thanks so much Chris. You made all the difference. I would not have done this without your channel. Keep up the great work!
Chris has probably got one of the most useful channels here, and a lot of the content doesn't really age because suspension technology hasn't really changed much on regular cars in the last couple decades.
This kind of snappy, well edited and condensed video is the ideal format for DIY videos here on TH-cam. The message, from author to listener, is that you respect my time. I wish all authors understood that. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! I try to edit ever second of the video to make sure it is as concise as possible. I hate watching how to videos where the person talks on and on about random stuff or even stuff related to the job and you are 5min in and still havent seen it.
Hey man! My Moog lower ball joint I got doesn't have a spot for the pin like my oem joints. They are "self locking". Is this right/safe. Should I go oem?
Hey Chris, thank you so much! I was driving the other day and the right ball joint on my car completely fell apart. So I investigated and found out I needed to replace the lower ball joint. I have wrenched on cars before but I've never really touched the front end/suspension before. After studying this video and tackling the replacement I successfully replaced both sides lower ball joints on my car. I cannot thank you enough for the excellent quality and straight forward how to videos you put out on this channel. Thank you!!! A shop wanted $320 per side and I spent $60 on 2 ball joints!!
One shop wanted 320 for both & another wanted 190 for both... The choice here is obvious but holy shit thats still expensive just for some little ball joints
chuck decarlo Thanks Chuck! That is how I like to make my 'how to' videos! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
This video is so thorough and well made. Very professional with the novice mechanic in mind. Not like a video made in the dark or missing steps. No wonder you have almost 1.25 million views. Also using quality tools on a clean subject! Congratulations on a superior job.
Chris, could you tell me if I need to change them on both sides if only one side has gone bad? And is it true that you need to change your tire rod and have an alignment after doing the ball joint? And is it best to change the upper and lower at the same time even if only one or the other is bad? I’m such a mess since my truck broke down and I want to make sure we do everything right 🙏🏻❣️
Thank you again, I'm a plumber by trade and been looking to change my lower ball joints myself, I have basic skills but just want to be 100 percent positive before I start the job. After watching dozens of videos, I was starting to give up, then I came across your videos, instantly subscribed. Thank you sir for taking time to make these videos. Much Aloha.
Very useful video. I just replaced my upper ball joints on my pickup and will need to do the lowers the end of the month. The pace of the video works well, and the fact that the tools are relatively simple makes it all that much better.
Chrisfix I just want to say thank you for sharing your videos that is so cool of you to explain these videos like you do I am 48 years old still learning and you explain these so well I hope you keep making videos of working on cars and trucks you make it look so easy I love your TH-cam videos I hope you don't stop making these cool videos because people can learn so much and I'm sure you will get rewarded in some way thanks again Chris fix that's all I can say or I could say more.
Wenever im about to start a project, i always research it on youtube. Your videos are always the best and most informative. Keep up the good work, bro.
Absolutely perfect video. Straight to the point. I watched a video where the guy just had to disclose that he hit his hand with a hammer and had to show his injuries. I guess that's alright if you want to know what NOT to do
Yea im from wi myself and my lower ball joint needs to be pressed down looking at the new one but the castle nut is towards the top not the bottom so this doesn't help me. My 99 s10 2.2 rear wheel drive doesn't have a cv shaft like you see in all of these videos. I did get m factory rivets out of my upper ball joint though ^^.
In Michigan we deal with salt but because our roads are so bad, nothing has the chance to seize up before a massive pothole destroys your suspension system again. Lol
I liked this video because he cut out all the small talk jibber-jabber & turned the camera off in between procedures. Told us what we need to know in short quick version.
you dont need one of those g clamps to get it out, my dad uses the weight on the car to push out the ball joint, if you drop the jack fast enough it pops right out
Growing up in a family of mechanics, I knew the $400 charge on a single ball joint replacement was way more than the cost of doing it myself. Each lower ball joint for my 89 chevy stepside was $50, and the ball press was $40. I saved $700 thanks to vids like this. Thanks.
@@jamaalharmon6305 try to find some of a good quality at a junk yard . They are not expensive new, if you do it yourself you can save a lot of money . Is not easy but try it there's a lot of videos on how to do it
Hi Chris I'm becoming addicted to your channel. For a young man you are so informative and impart a great deal of knowledge in an easy to understand manner. I would fly all the way from Scotland to attend a summer school if you did such a think. As said I drive a 38 year old classic and the old adage is if you want it done right do it yourself. As there are so many shops will take your money and do a half hearted job at best. I don't believe that you would ever take a shortcut with any job. All the best Gordon
This video is excellent and ALSO underscores the importance of regularly washing the underside and all suspension components so they never reach this level of crust and crud. It'll extend service life and make it much easier to work on when needed.
Dude, I've never left a comment before this but ALL your vids are SPOT ON, NAIL HEAD HITTING, BARE BONES TH-cam greatness for DIY'rs. I hope/know you/you'll do well in whatever you choose to do in life. For now, thanx for these vids and great job man, great job...
A simple trick before installing the ball join is to put it in the freezer (or use can of air upside down right before installing) the night before so it'll shrink oh so slightly and be easier to install. Oh and blast everything the night before with PB Blast. If it's a classic car then PB Blast it a few days in a row before doing the work. I take this back. dont use PB blast. use half acetone & atf fluid. it's a whole lot better and way cheaper. i use the old atf. and you dont have to wait either. learned this the hard way. used pb blast on exhaust studs. 1st one broke and then the rest came off with ease after the new penetrating oil formula.
I realize this is an old video, but you teach more about the correct way to use tools than many others. I need to do that to my 2001 Lincoln Town Car. I know I'm going to need a ball joint tool, and do have a good idea on how to use it. You Sir, have confirmed my idea on HOW to use it correctly. However I will use an air impact because I have them, and I'm all for doing it the easiest way possible. Thank you Sir, for such good videos. 👍
Hey Chris love your work brother!! Do you have any videos on inner or outer tie rods/ tie rod ends, living in the motor city, the pot holes destroy our suspension man.
tripjet999 actually, the wheel is held in place by the downward pressure of the weight of the vehicle, even with the lug nuts removed, it won’t fall unless you shake it very hard. But to be on the same side, I just loosen them slightly.
I am not a mechanic but it is my understanding that loosening and removing the axel nut but before jacking can damage your bearings. I know some of these rules are just nonsense but any feedback is always appreciated.
Thanks for stressing the importance of torquing. Several video's I've watched for this same task never mentioned a word about it. From an old industrial maintenance technician.
Great job on this video buddy. I have an 2001 B2300. Mine only has 49,000 miles but it's getting a little crusty from the road salt and I need to replace the ball joints and tie rod ends as soon as the snow melts. This is the best video on the topic that I've come across so far. Thanks.
Finally someone made a vid showing how to use the press to remove and replace the lower joint. Don't know how many I have seen where they use a hammer.
Wonderful video very efficiently and very effectively recorded showing the captioned task without wasting time slots that leads to boredom in many other's productions. For your kind heart that wishes to serve the public in this manner the Almighty must provide you with good health, happy home and sufficient wealth. We will pray for you too. Glad to know there are people like you on this planet. You must part time teach in some college evening courses on these topics. You have excellent art of teaching within short time.
4:43 when I seen your video it looks so easy and straight forward. I have a 2004 Mitsubishi endeavor and it only has a lower arm and the tie rod end on it. O'Reillys said I have to buy the hole lower arm that has the ball joint. That's ignorance out of any auto parts store. But you make it so easy to apply this ball joint. So I'm going to ask any auto parts store for a ball joint becuse that's what it needs. Thanks. 😮
Hey Chris! Just wanted you to let you know that you saved me about a grand by me watching your videos of the ball joint replacement. Great videos showing all the real important things and removing the small talk, Thanks again.
your video on lower ball joint removal was the only one of four by others that used any type penetrating oil or lube, myself use brake fluid in a spray bottle, good quick videos without all the mistakes I saw the others make trying to use an air impact wrench. oil very important part of a disassembly and assembly!
GREAT, I've got a B2500, so it's probably close to the same. But the big thing is that this can be done, but not to take it too lightly. Realize and respect what you are doing and you can safely and successfully accomplish this with your help videos. I always take my time when doing something along the lines of major automobile operation. Thank You !!
I liked this video , good job. When I was 310s automotive in Scarborough Ontario ,we rarely had blue lockthight sealant ,only had Red ones for cylinder head bolts etc I think long as bolts are not forgotten to tighten you are okay without sealant s.
Thks for responding, your the only one did, jimthecarguy, dannerscanner,mechanic oc,south main auto Eric o,& several others never did thks again chris, love watching your vidoes my favorite, u show exactly how to do the work on whatever it is that your doing, learned alot watching them. ...thks again.

Just bought a 99 b3000 and EVERYTHING i need to fix it on here so thanks for that man! Haha save me a load of money and time 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi ChrisFix. My 1999 Lincoln town car needs upper and lower ball joints. I went with eBay for parts. OEM Detroit. A lot less dollars. Also have to replace the pinion due to sloppy stearing. You videos are the best on youtube for doing vehicle maintenance. Thank you very much.
This video really helped me, though my all joints press the reverse way. The video enlightened me as to what I needed to do and what tool to use. Thanks.
One of the best videos i've watched. Thank you for all the tips and tools used. GREAT JOB !!!! I also love that you made two version short and detailed. Sweeet!!
I love your videos. Your making sure we can clearly see everything everything you do parts and all is priceless. I've been a subscriber for a couple years and after watching a few videos from other channels it makes me appreciate you even more. thanks!

Just bought a 99 b3000 and EVERYTHING i need to fix it on here so thanks for that man! Haha save me a load of money and time 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi ChrisFix. My 1999 Lincoln town car needs upper and lower ball joints. I went with eBay for parts. OEM Detroit. A lot less dollars. Also have to replace the pinion due to sloppy stearing.
You videos are the best on youtube for doing vehicle maintenance. Thank you very much.
This video really helped me, though my all joints press the reverse way. The video enlightened me as to what I needed to do and what tool to use. Thanks.
One of the best videos i've watched. Thank you for all the tips and tools used. GREAT JOB !!!! I also love that you made two version short and detailed. Sweeet!!
Thanks! I’m glad the video was helpful!
Hi Chris, Thanks for taking a little fear out of these very fearful jobs.
I love your videos! Please don't ever stop making videos.
Good video. Great production value. You spent a lot of time cutting out the fat. Excellent
I love your videos. Your making sure we can clearly see everything everything you do parts and all is priceless. I've been a subscriber for a couple years and after watching a few videos from other channels it makes me appreciate you even more. thanks!
THANKS AGAIN CHRISFIX, I LOVE THAT YOU ARE TO THE POINT AND CLEAR EXPLANATION IN YOUR VIDEOS, NOW TIME TO GET CRACKING ON MY C4 CORVETTE AND REPLACE THAT BAD LOWER BALL JOINT!
I'm glad the videos have been helpful!
@@chrisfix I had to go to South Bend last week and I have a mechanic friend there, I chicken out last Friday, that lower ball joint was direct pressed on and even my guy was saying choice words when he was pushing that new one back in, I was glad to pay him $100!
