Instructions:

- Remove cotter pin and castle nut from the outer tie rod/end or ball joint stud if applicable.
- Separate the ball joint stud from the control arm using a ball joint separator or pickle fork. Be careful to avoid damage to surrounding components.
- Support the lower control arm and remove any bolts or retaining clips securing the ball joint to the control arm.
- Use a ball joint press to press out the old ball joint from the control arm housing. Clean the control arm bore of rust and debris before installing the new unit.
- Press the new ball joint into the control arm using the press kit, ensuring proper orientation and full seating. Install any retaining rings or snap rings if supplied.
- Reconnect the ball joint stud to the steering knuckle/control arm and install the castle nut. Torque to manufacturer specifications and insert a new cotter pin if required.
- Reinstall any other components removed and mount the wheel. Lower the vehicle, torque lug nuts to specification, and perform a final torque check on the ball joint nut.
- If the ball joint is greaseable, apply grease via the fitting until fresh grease appears. After installation, have wheel alignment checked and adjusted as necessary to restore proper steering geometry.
