New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/DMSBJ00004
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado 1500. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

    The lower ball joint can be driven out carefully with a hammer once you use the chisel to fold over those divots...

    It's nice having a 2wd, because i don't have to loosen the upper control arm alignment bolts or have to wrestle with the axle shaft or remove the tie rod end. It makes a shorter job and less alignment issues. But I always get my alignment done at Pep Boys, and thry have a Lifetime Alignment deal, so no matter how many times i work on my front end suspension parts, i just take it there and they make it ride nice and straight.

    Can't read the size of the tool that fit over the bottom ball joint so you can press it in. Thanks. The AC Delco ball joint have a non removal able grease boot. Thanks for all your videos too.

    Love watching these vids where it all juuust cooomes apart…(ha). couldn’t get mine out.... maxed out my air impact with the press tool, borrowed a new dewalt, made sure it had a fresh battery still nothing, put cheater pipe on my 1/2” ratchet till I was afraid of breaking it, (ya I know, where’s my break over) let it soak with penetrating oil for a day, heated the area to about 250* afraid to go hotter, beat the cr*p out of it, finally chiseled inward divots all the way around and used a spacer that pushed on the outer ring (that I had just put divots in) instead of the center and it moved then.. oh and then when I went to install the new one I realized that for mine (2500) you have to have pieces that are in the companion set that you get from HF

    The ball joint I'm removing doesn't want to come out. I have no clue how you lined the ball joint tool up over top of the ball joint so it's a flat surface to push the ball joint out. Top ball joint is in the way.

    Anyone with common sense will replace the whole control arm. By the time you do all of the pressing and labor it's not worth replacing just the ball joint. With a new control arm you get the new bushings to frame too! It's a no brainer.
