![How to change a ball joint [AUTODOC TUTORIAL]](/img/n.gif)
I did this job on my Berlingo this afternoon, using this video as guide, and it worked a treat! Thanks for explaining so well. Top job!
😃👍🐷
Honestly mate the jump in your video quality is immense recently.. blown away
Maxwell Wheeler thankyou 😃👍🐷
Thanks a lot. Yes this was indeed a helpful video. It is exactly the ball joint in Berlingo II (B59).
I cannot wait to change it!
Take your time. Stay safe. Do well 👍🐷
Thanks to you, "pig of a job" has been redefined to mean "very simple indeed"... Working my way through a C3 Picasso jigsaw puzzle and you've been so helpful along the way.
Also... not related to this particular video, but I almost died laughing and will never refer to impact guns as anything but ugga guggas from now on
Thanks from Scotland! 🛠️🐷
Glad to help! Nothing is too difficult if you break it down to smaller tasks 🐷👍
Best videos! My next step is changing the wishbone bushings certainly I'll do the ball joint too!
RafaGmod many thanks, all the best 👍🐷
Very good video, just going to tackle this job on my Renault 5...thank you.
All the best! Nice retro car!
Very helpful. The advice to grind off the rivet heads was not something I had considered! Easy Peasy, now. Thankyou
No worries! I'm curious how you managed to get through the rivets before?!? 🤯
@@PiggyPower I am going to do the job tomorrow. There is no way to get a grinder in to the rivets without separating the ball joint first! So just a case of dropping out the stud on the balljoint and maybe securing the control arm at a lower level using a long pry bar? Should work OK 👃
@@TonyG-iu4td aye tricky a bit. But best getting the CV joint out the way
@@PiggyPower Detach the steering rod then I can swing the whole assembly to the left and out of the way? Yep?
@@TonyG-iu4td that would do

Nicely done x
Many thanks 👍🐖
Thankyou for a good descriptive video 👍
You're welcome 👍🐷
Nice done...tnx for vid
No worries 😊👍🐷💪
Thanks, great info. If the drive shaft does pull out of the gearbox, does it just slide back in when the new joint is bolted back in place?
Just push it back in yeah. If it's nearside, you will lose gearbox oil though, so best to ensure it doesn't!

you make this look soo easy, wached it many times to learn but fk i hate doing lower ball joints on my 208. done it many of times as the morons at euro car parts give me the wront ones the 63.5mm lenth ones over the 75mm lenth ones. NGL ive run the shorter ones for 300 miles and the only issue is when on full lock there is a clunck, i presume its the ball joint clicking up in the hub or the car is totaly fked 😂😂. btw only done it as a last dich effort as i need the vehicle for work e.g the car is my job. also amazing video
It's practice..👍
A wrong balljoint like that may well put strain on the driveshaft and CV joints... Could bind them up entirely= crash! Be cautious.
ECP often give many options for the same part, you have to be sure before you make a choice.
Stay safe 👌🐷💪
Piggy Power I’ve made sure I’ve orders the 75mm length and they still give me the sorted ones ordering some from TMs and others to try and get the right ones
Good vid to the end ,my 306 balljoint lock bolt got damaged by previous balljoint,can i find another one of any size?
eBay or motorfactors... Just type in what vehicle it's for. It's not just a normal bolt due to the long shoulder they have and high tensile strength 👌
Hiiii great video, torque bolt?
Thanks

Good vid Piggy, i did pull out my driveshaft though resulting in a gooey mess! p.s do you know how to get a DS3 wishbone bolt in as the dam driveshaft is in the way hence my gooey mess trying!!
Does it go vertically?
@@PiggyPower Yep, hits the driveshaft when trying to pull it/in out terrible design
Yeah, 206 is the same. Once removed, often we flip it. So it's nut on the top and bolt go in from underneath.
If you need to remove it... Disconnect the lower engine mount and lever the engine/gearbox away to get the bolt out 👍🐷💪
@@PiggyPower Will give that a go, I did manage to get it out somehow but it wont go back in the way it came out! thanks for the reply.
Can you not fit it the other way?
Hi sir , i owned 206 , usually when am push the brake and turn the steering wheel right or left (when i park the car for example or leaving the park) sound like a something broken been heard , kindly i need the info to solve the issue , so do you think that sound because of the failer ball joint ?
Could be ANY of the joints, springs, mounts or linkages. No way to know without inspecting the vehicle
@@PiggyPower thank you so much sir , allah may bless you , noted
Hello i have same joint i change but over big bumps i can hear clunking i change it again and after 3 days again can u give me some idea what can be wrong , and that one bolt that goes to joint going in very Easy can be that problem
Maybe you're changing the wrong joint
Perfect! Got my 106 to do 😭
Need a complete arm for the 106 👌🐷
Hi. I’m sure this helped a lot out there. Cheers!
No worries! Glad to help
Could this be the problem when I turn sharp left, it literally sounds like a woodpecker pecking
It could be. It could also not be. Need to investigate! If it's a constant knocking...sounds more like CV joint
@@PiggyPower no it’s just sometimes turning sharp left
Any ideas
Inspect and diagnose!
Why not put some greas on the pin before you wigel it in? I do and it goes so much easyer.
You could do.
And you did.
Lucky u i cant even get a good used one 😢😢😢
Why would you buy a second hand one?!?!?! It's like £10-15 brand new!
@@PiggyPower cause it dont even have a new one in my country
@@terrysookhoo2528 where do you live?
@@PiggyPower west Indies twin island trinidad and tobago
@@terrysookhoo2528 can't you order online?? Never use second hand pal, waste of time
