New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASBJ00288
Axle Nut torque correction: 118 ft. lbs.
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2009-2020 Dodge Journey. 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.

Your videos are great! Professional, informative and easy to follow steps, along with quality camera work. With your help, I just finished replacing most of the front suspension on my 2010 Dodge Journey. Thanks for the videos, really appreciate the effort!
You can't do this without taking the knuckle and everything attached to the knuckle off?
Great job
this is case and point how NOT do do a job.. this is the 'I know a guy that can do it cheaper. he totally caved in the upper caliper mount, and the backing plate holes, you can see 11:30 where they are smashed in from being pounded on. then they dont show the part until after it looks like its been drilled out 12:25.. he holds his finger over the upper backing plate hole to hide this fact, and doesnt even install the 3rd bolt because the hole is too damaged 13:10. you can also clearly see the caliper hole has been drilled out. 14:18 verifies the backing plate bolt is missing. what a joke.
gracias por compartir estos buenos conceptos; para el procedimiento correcto delreemplazo de la rotua suspensión; bencidiones.
Great Job
Wow! That is a major operation. Everything came apart so easily. No salt where you are. Did you grease it? Never knew there were grease fittings on those.
Axl nut factory torque is 118 ft ibs ....not 181 ft ibs
Ive been down this road . It took me about about 21 mins. and decided this is above my paygrade .
If you put the socket on the vice pad and then hit it with the five lb hand held press.
13:47 "now let's torque each of these bolts to AT LEAST 35 foot pounds... "
Anyone know how hard (scale 1-10) to just know the ball joint out with a hammer (an a little heat) instead of using an air chisel?
Is there a grease pin on the ball joint.
Excelente vídeo,buena instalación e información , gracias por compartir los pasos de una buena instalación
tire rod ends look blown out too..
Put fitting in for greasing or doesn't have
Fastest way to fuk up a tie rod is to hit it on the threads like that!!! Obviously this guy is NOT a mechanic.
excelente!!!
You didn't show that you need to remove the 4 bolts to remove the cv axle from the knuckle
Don't ever hit anything on the threads!!!

Put a piece of wood right ? In between too absorp the impact when he was hitting those threads out .?
Real mech would have beat the ring and fitting off with the air hammer new one are required.
I’ve done this job twice and the worst part was taking the ball joint out and putting it back in. One time the edge if the cup he uses to push the rim of the ball joint in caught on the sleeve and cut it. Had to do it all over again. This has a specialty tool you cannot rent anywhere and you can buy it for a ridiculously high price. Long story short, terrible design. Never buy this car. You have one? Sell it and buy any other car. Another common issue: P2004. Once comes around, never leaves.

А нареть горелкой слабо?

Has to show off snap on air hammer. They work great. It's not easy to hit ball joint with hammer it is easier air hammer.
I was fully capable of doing this job myself until he broke out the air Hammer and "cup".
Too much work 🙄
axle nut is 118, not 181.
I hate when mechanic do this... all this labor and install that tie rod end... customer going be back next week, wonder why I got the same sound, another 350. Thanks alot when you could got a new one instead. Typical big shop mechanic.
Do exactly what this guy did if you want to ruin your alignment 😂
I would not let this person touch my vehicle. He beats on threads, does not use proper tools and damages components. This is incorrect instalation. A shop press is always preferred over beating on cast parts with a hammer.
