Finally a CE course that had my total attention. Very good speaker and such useful information. I plan on watching it a second time to get this engraved into my brain.

Oh boy, I run into a lot of "snags". LOL

I think when I did mine.. I had to have an angled cup to drive in the ball joint.. 08' 350 dually..

they said you should tighten the one bolt when the truck is on the ground.

Can’t wait until you replace the opposite side of that bar I think it’s a small metal rubber bushing great video

@RichardJaehnigen Жыл бұрын

In my opinion the bushing was much easier than the ball joint. I had to cut my ball joint out with a torch.

Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Getting ready to do this. Looking for a press i can buy that will do it without the price of the OTC one. Haha.

@raincitywrench117 Ай бұрын

Check your local parts house, Napa, Oreillys, etc. They probably have a ball joint press set you can rent.

@kevindunn175 9 ай бұрын

Use a slightly bigger cup so the boot doesn’t stick to the inside of the cup when you take it back off maybe? Need to do a whole front rebuild on my 03 king ranch suspension.

Yea, exactly. Same thought I had.

Some packages have a plastic cup used to drive the boot on after pressing the ball joint into place.

What is that dodge (cup dye) for the press what cpuld I use instead

@raincitywrench117 2 жыл бұрын

I bet you could find a cup or sleeve that would work out of most ball joint press sets like this one from harbor freight: www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-63279.html?campaignid=12144811130&adsetid=117789282878&product=63279&store=52&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvqeUBhCBARIsAOdt45aJT2uXfs5cZtbR89Nad-IapOgu3hPczTodBl1s-WgsZ2VgKbgR4CUaAqGkEALw_wcB

@matteckert6676 11 ай бұрын

So if you dont have those cups is there another option? Would hate to spend money on something i will probably never use again

@raincitywrench117 11 ай бұрын

Replacement will be tough without the cups. Renting a ball joint service set would be a great option.

Is this a reason why lofted trucks sometimes drive weird/sway/float on high speed?

@raincitywrench117 Жыл бұрын

Definitely. If a drop down bracket isn't installed on the driver side of the track bar then that will also make the truck wander around & drive like crap.

@ryanegbert1170 8 ай бұрын

Can you elaborate more on this bracket? 2011 F350

@Lance-Scaping 2 ай бұрын

Does the truck need to be lifted when doing this or can I leave it on the ground?

@raincitywrench117 2 ай бұрын

It can be done on the ground with the tires still on or you can jack it up on stands to get a little more room working on it.

@scenicroutetravelers3655 Жыл бұрын

Would this issue make the truck "walk"?

@raincitywrench117 Жыл бұрын

Definitely. It could still have another issue like overinflated tires or other loose components. With the truck running in park, have someone rock the steering wheel back and forth and take a peek under the front to see if something is obviously loose.
