I've had to do this 3 times in the past month for reasons i don't want to say. I have mastered this job and have found the best method. If you push the new ball joint into the bottom of the knuckle and make sure the metal dowel pins sit into the knuckle then start the 2 17mm bolts then grab the whole spindle and knuckle assembly and sit that onto the lower control arm, you don't have to mess around and try to align the heavy knuckle onto the 2 dowel pins

The "yeet" on the pin had me laughing

Just found your channel and was immediately impressed with the quality of your videos. I just bought a '05 S430 Mercedes with a number of issues that need to be addressed, so I'll be exploring your channel a lot. Thanks!

Why does no one ever use the easiest tool for this job? That’s the pitman arm puller.

Thank you for including the torque spec when reinstalling, very helpful!

I hit a speed bump the other night and now I have a squeak/scrub coming from the passenger side when there is a change in suspension. Could that be a ball joint or the control arm?

Hey man, when I’m trying to put on the tie rod. The bearing is spinning while I’m trying to tighten it

This video is the best one, its my go to

Awesomeness

Jus replaced mine, steering feels pretty loose now don’t know if that’s normal or not

Nice tip with the jack at the end, thanks.

I'm on the hunt..I have a 01 is300 I can hear kind of a poping or clunking when I turn.. I haven't jacked it up yet I think its the ball joint or something like that. What's odd when I turn it fast hard left or right it sound s like a grinding. Kinda like the rotor is rubbing on the brake pad.. Thanks for the good edit straight to the fucking point.

This is great videos. Usually what is the price for parts and labor done for left and right front sides?

Do u aliment once u change it ?
