Hello,

just wanted to share my experience replacing the infamous upper ball joint. I used McQuay-Norris ball joints from Kragen for $36 and rented the ball joint press from AutoZone. Pretty simple install with the tool.

One tip though, luckly I had 1 1/4 (32mm) socket for my axel nut and this came in really handy installing the snap-ring. Just use the same ball joint press to install the snap-ring.

Took 1 hour to replace both ball joint.

Hope this helps!

haha.. my bad...

Shaino,

you just replace the ball joint? mine's going out too... is it the same as the upper?

what about your 3rd one... the ball joint on the curved arm....

thanks!

I just replaced the upper ball joint on the front. Didn't cost that much either [mechanic wise]. I spent noticebly less than $100 on parts and labor. so i was pleased.
