I know one thing of i was taking apart my frontend and axels id replace them u-joints for sure ... for the extra time it takes its well worth the extra piece of mind it wont break out on the trail ...and yours definitely look like they can use it
Instead of hammering out the hub/axle you can just flip the rotor around and throw the lugs back on a few threads then use the rotor as a slide hammer. Works great.
Very good video. Absolutely recommend getting the offset cup kit to press the old ball joints out and new ones in. Also a good time to have your rotors turned and do a brake job if it's needed.
It’s 100 FT LBS..He remove the whole assembly hub bearing with axle shaft.. so he doesn’t have to re-torque it and saved some time from separating it from the axle shaft

I very much appreciate that you didn’t use the red boot as an “added difference” from stock. Kept it legit and stuck to useful differences

Salut Tristan ,je salue ta transparence 👍
When I see a mechanic swinging a claw hammer it makes me doubt his abilities.
Can this cause play on the sterring wheel?

You’re a hero man, that was painful; until I did as you mentioned
@EdBlack thanks for the tip😊
Spend a little extra and get the teraflex or dynatrac. They'll last a lot longer.
Cringed at the claw hammer....
I have terra flex adjustable ball joints so they don't go bad.🤗 Just sayin
What brand and size is that C press?

Great video! Axle hub bearing torque? Please don't use a claw hammer.

@@358bobcat9 I think, he meant the three bolts of bearing to knuckle. This is what I‘m missing too, in this video.
I would stick a towel in the axle tube to prevent any shit from getting in there
Oops! And where are your safety glasses. Wait until that hammer throws a metal chip. Not trying to rag you, I do like your products.
Just started watching but one Huh? Really, a claw hammer, try a ball peen hammer. They are made for hitting this stuff.
I didn’t see a snap ring put onto the grease boot of the lower ball joint. Why not? It comes with the kit, and there is a seat for it also
Why does the ball joint look so smashed on top.
Like Ryan Huck, comment Ryan Houck.

Same thing happened to me with just one of the ball joints. They sent me a replacement.
Is it normal cor everything to be so rusted? Mine kinda looks like this not sure if i should be worried
Yep! We're in PA, we get our fair share of snowy winters and road salt. Conditions like that over time will cause surface rust like this. -Zach
Did you have to grease these specific joints or were they already filled in?
You'd want to grease them after install!
Excellent video! Super helpful and it was great to have this as I installed mine!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
How many ball joints do I need for front and rear? 4 or 8?
Just the front! Upper and lower! 4
