New Ball Joint Set from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASFK01108
Modern 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 video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2006-10 Dodge Charger.

    Thank you for a great video! I had been putting off replacing both my ball joints on my Chrysler 300C for 3 years, they both got so bad I had to do it. Passenger one took me 5 hours was very stubborn and removed the entire knuckle like you did in the video and on another day tackled the drivers side and took me 1 hour 50 minutes to do and did not remove the knuckle. But did however have to apply heat to the drivers side one. Replaced both forward lower control arms, rack and pinion and both outer tie rods the same time.

    One thing that I've always done when tightening suspension parts is use a second jack to jack up the hub to simulate it sitting on the ground and then torque the bolts. Obviously, this would be much easier if you have a lift. The primary purpose of this is to ensure everything seats properly before tightening. Not sure if it makes a difference, however, I track my car and take any precautions that I can.
