Instructions:
- Park on a level surface, engage parking brake and chock rear wheels.
- Loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly, then raise vehicle with a floor jack and secure on jack stands. Remove the front wheel.
- Apply penetrating oil to the ball joint nut and related fasteners. Remove any cotter pins and retainers from the ball joint stud.
- Support the lower control arm with a jack or stand. Remove the lower ball joint nut and separate the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle using a ball joint separator or pickle fork.
- Unbolt or press out the old ball joint from the lower control arm per vehicle-specific design (some are riveted, others bolted or pressed). Use a ball joint press to remove if pressed in.

- Reinsert the ball joint stud into the steering knuckle, install the nut and torque to the manufacturer’s specification. Install new cotter pin if applicable.
- Reinstall wheel, lower vehicle, and torque lug nuts to specification. Test drive at low speed to confirm proper steering and suspension operation, then re-torque hardware if necessary.
- After a short break-in period, check torque on the ball joint nut and wheel lug nuts and inspect for any abnormal wear or noise.
