Understanding the do's and don't's of a procedure is half the battle. When someone takes the time to create such a detailed video everyone benefits from it. Tremendous video and narrated perfectly. Thank you!

Thank You for explain everything, I'm going to replace my suspension, I don't have the tool for the Ball Joint, so I'm going to do it manually with a hammer, jack and peace of conduit and of course a lot of time :D the purpose of all this is to save money and do some work, I love to do some service on my cars, clean everything and verify the job.

I gotta say this is the most detailed and easy to follow video I have seen. Thanks for making it easy!

Excellent job fellas...I am doing this to my 98 Dakota as we speak. I found this and have followed it to a tee...Thank you...am now a subscriber!!!

Oh my gosh!! That's my truck. How cool! I'm going to start taking all of my vehicles there!

Very informative, so glad I found this video as I am tore down and ready to tackle my upper/lower control arms, cv shaft, tie rods, pads & rotors. Great instruction, thank you!

Nice job as usual Dwayne.Your videos are very informative and very easy to understand.Thanks for making them.

Perfect. Iam mechanic but i was enjoying your job.

I think he messed that grease zerk up when he was whackin' at the control arm...

Excellent vid! Informative and great camera work and no stupid music overpowering the instructor! Well done. You young punks with loud music and jerky camera work should pay attention to this fellow! And shut up!

Outstanding video. Very professional throughout. Good job on using pieces, parts and tools by name.

Great instruction and methods. Subbed!

excellent video great work and explanation thanks

Thanks for the video, great job.

Great as always !

question, is there a way to get the lower ball joint out without an air hammer? I've been helping out my buddy that dont know alot about shanging front end parts. I could an air hammer at the shop I work at but its a bit of a money issue for him, I replaced the upper ball joint in my yard and replaced his front cv shaft, I used the tricks with a chain and jack to pop out all the joints to save all the rubber bushings but just to find out that the outer tie rod end and lower ball joint was worn anyways. I mean if a small piece of pipe and a three pound hammer would work that'll be awesome, even if it'll take time. I just dont want to go pounding on something and it dont work and have his pickup towed to a shop. its a 97 Dakota. im a mechanic during the week and a backyard mechanic on the weekends. lol

Good Job!!! Thanks a lot.

Thanks! Very nice!

good stuff, thanks

Excellent, video. Would this be the same for 1998 2wd & 4wd dakota's.

Great! Video! :)

Excellent! Wouldn't it be worth swapping out the outer tie rod end just for good measure since your already at this point?

still never replaced the boot on the tie rod

Sounds like he’s about to walk around collecting taxes for the king

Ha, I have a 2005 dodge Dakota 4x4 I have a shake in the front driver side tire. When I jack up the truck an turn the tire by have it makes a clicking noise.

How much has to be calibrated the ball joints?

nice

anyone have torque specs for 95 dodge dakota sport 2wd ball joints 4 cylinder 2.5 liter

@gregp05 I'm really starting to think that I'm going to buy myself one of those for my birthday!

@midlantic1 that outer tie rod end looks like junk, I guess the owner didn't want it replaced

that ball joint press kit is nice, but no size for an old crappy buick rainier. it was either too big or too small.

Why not use a little grease for easier install of the new ball joint?

I do like having my ball joints greased........

You guys should make repair manuals. You guys would do a much better job then haynes.

Hey Duane. How is this mechanic doing these days? He seems like a very experienced veteran mechanic like yourself.
