The Dodge Ram's Ball Joints are pretty bad so let's fix them so we can go on Hot Rod Power Tour and not crash.

    Great video. Great job on the front end maintenance. Always good to have good joints and bushings in the front end. Keeps you on the road that way.....and out of the ditch. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

    Thanks for always being a great supporter of the channel. I appreciate it. I wish I could have done the other bushings but I don't think I could even get the nuts loose on the inside. 👍🏼

    I make my own press adapters from Dom pipe and other left overs. Never throw away things that can be used to press thing in with.

    I also have a video removing upper ball joints pretty easy....and the 12 ton press is enough atleast it should be..but I have other ball joint presses too not to hard and heat is always your freind.

    You can always burn out the bushings.... That works best when using polyurethane replacements... Which is better than regular rubber since its a lot of work.

    A six foot cheater bar should have helped get the upper ball joint moving... But my clutch GL10K impact gun does the job most of the time.

    Me either. They're nice to ride in but I don't think I'd own one. However, my cousin has a 2016 with over 400k miles on it 😯

    Much easier just to remove the caliper and use a hook to hold it up... Then remove the rotor makes it lighter to deal with... The spring just use a chain in the middle of it to restrain it while you lower the lower control arm pretty easy really common sense goes a long way...

    I probably should have removed the calipers but I was being lazy :) There's a lot of that video that was cut to bring the time down.
