One of the better videos on KZread for this more difficult ball joint. Your narration and camera shots made for an easy to understand video.

What would you say is a reasonable price for labor per side for this job, not including the part cost?

took me less than an hour. i charged 15 bucks, i dont do it for the money. under $200 maybe? including the part

I like the way you used a jack to raise the lower control arm off the knuckle. Very civilized, no sweat.

thank you spelunkerd. i try to do work the easy way, sometimes it doesn't go the way i want it though.

Good video, thanks for the upload. One suggestion, when you have the issue of the castle nut to far below the cotter pin hole, add a washer or 2 under the nut.

My thought exactly, easy in the comfort of your home. One other tip if you have to drill a new hole for a cotter pin, whether it's a round or especially if it's a threaded shaft. I find it a lot easier to grind or file a small flat on the shaft to start the drill. Just did the whole front end on a Magnum wagon. 2 lower ball joints each side???😊

excellent video. thanks for your effort.

the ball joint i was using was not adjustable. i would recommend using an alignment shop.

Man I can’t seem to find a installation ring that fits the right way on that ball joint

How many miles are on that car? Since the ball joint has a grease seek I would assume it has been changed before.

Look at the wheel at the end of the video - price you pay for super low profile tires with way too oversized wheel = suspension lasts half the time as stock due to extra pounding. Probably rides like crap too.
