Great video, I have a 2WD so this was absolutely perfect for me. Other tutorials applied either Permatex sleeve retainer paste or Loctite 609 (the green kind) to the ball joint before pressing into the control arm - not sure whether to do that or not. UPDATE: So I didn't use any type of paste before pressing in the lower ball joint - it was all good, just cleaned the hole with brake cleaner. Also, the lower ball joint nut on my truck was a 24mm not 21mm. I'm also going to go out on a limb and let ya'll know that if you've got squeaking then be prepared to shell out an additional $80 for an upper control arm because both upper and lower ball joints are probably bad. I have a 2006 Ford F-150 2WD with a 4.6 v8 and I had to buy a whole upper control arm because you can't change the upper ball joint. When you replace the upper arm be aware that you'll have to remove the strut spring assembly to remove the long bolts(21mm) holding both sides of the arm, this requires a 30mm socket for the big bottom bolt and 15mm socket for the 3 bolts on top.

Did this repair in 2022/almost 2023 Loosen upper nuts of suspension, remove if needed Loosen upper control arm nut If doing lower ball joint loosen ball joint nut Yes take off brakes caliper or whole assembly is fine Now remove which ever nut you need And lift where needed If doing both just tie to front of truck To remove upper control arm use wrenches and a pry bar to make room, we used wood to keep the space And whala space to work

I have bought good quality parts from 1AAuto that is TRQ. Your videos are so very helpful! Thank you for what you do 1AAuto and TRQ

Great video TRQ greetings from the United states virgin islands in the carribbean us territory st.thomas I am new to this channel and i was watching the video about changing inner and outer tie rod ends and I did the repairs myself and everything went smooth. Thank God I did the alinement myself and it is perfect thanks for these great video the more I lerean the more knowledgeable I become God bless

when doing these videos you should do it on a vehicle with old parts. anybody can change a new part without rust.

Great job and he explained really well i will totally recommend this video as people who wants to learn how to change lower ball joints....

Probably because he has to do an alignment on it after any front end work. At my shop I always leave the lock nuts loose and go to the alignment rack.

You are a MAsStAr ⭐! Thank you for Being You! 💯

Great video. Description says lower ball joint why the tie rod adjustment nut loosening?

I have no idea why you would even loosen the locknut for the tierod . There's no reason to loosen it . Other then that it's a nice video .

I didn't and it turned out just fine. Also, I pulled the ABS sensor out of the knuckle with a 5mm socket instead of undoing all of the wire harnessing.

How do you add grease to these ball joints?

I guess you have done this once before good job and thanks

Great video

I see all the parts listed except for the magic cups. Where would one find those? Otherwise, great video.

would you be doing this a little different for 4 wheel drive and the IWE vacuum line

This video is awesome 👏

Faster great job master!👍

Great job thank you

I always have fun changing a tire on the side of the road with these Ford lug nuts having to be torqued to 150 ft lbs.

As clear as fresh water from mountain. Thanks

BONK DAT TING!! Yeah baby!!!

Great vid. Thx u

Ummm great but why not use a rubber mallet instead of solid metal or iron to solid metal Ik I’m not the one doing the work but the loud banging of metal to metal is hectic overall I feel like this mechanic did great in explaining everything if it was a grade I’d give a 100 or A+ but I think I’ll just pay someone seems like too much work for me I like doing simple car stuff

The NAPA Ford F150 upper ball joint boots will NOT go on without a special install tool, channel locks will destroy your BOOT.

He grabbed pliers just to hit the cotter pin

Where is the C V Axle

+Milton Graham Thanks for watching! This is a 2WD truck so there is no front CV axle.

Just replace the entire lower control arm

Looks easy enough but takes at least $200 in tools just to do.

The sho in my area charging $679 for this job and alignment

bad how to. No need to loosen the tie rod nut. Broke the retainers for the abs sensor so it flops around the wire cuts itself on the liner or metal parts.

U completely slipped the part where u have to separate the CV shaft from the steering knuckle. The video skips to where your removing the lower ball joint and the CV shaft is already separated. U cannot do this job with removing the CV shaft from the steering knuckle but somehow u guys think u did. Boo

Completely different steering knuckle and bearing assembly but still the same assembly basically for a 4x4 But yes removal of the front cv axle is mundane
