2006 Chrysler 300 lower ball joint removal and install. maybe the same as charger and challenger. I think this cost like 400 each so this will save you a lot of money. ordered control arm kit $130 came with ball joints from ebay.

I just used my snapon bjp1 balljoint press on a charger yesterday and it only took 45 minutes in and out but a small trick was to tap the housing while it had pressure on it and it came right out😢😢 Second Chrysler ball joint I used it on so far without any worries👍👍👍

You're lucky you didn't bust that ($200) ball joint tool hitting on it. Hit the ball joint housing instead. That's only cast alloy with a steel threaded bolt.

That is a very useful video, do you think it could have been done without dismantling the entire unit? Can't get a press kit in the UK to fit on over the ball joint so the vehicle is sitting on the drive going nowhere! Parts are easy to get but the press kit! No luck at all and no dealers anymore, not that you wanna pay there prices.

When you had the pressure on the press you shouldve hit the knuckle on the control arm...it would've taken a lot less time

Lol buddy I'll tell you something, we've done tons of ball joints in our shop. But a freaking Chrysler 300 Ball Joint With a Real Impact Gun Still takes about an hour. Sometimes "Rarely on these cars" they will come out butter smooth like in the 1AAuto video I saw awhile back.

Amm just saying you got real lucky . That cup usually just rolls off the knuckle and will not press out . 90% of the time your forced to grind off the lip so you can set the cup on the front lip to stop it from rolling off. I spent 2 days and 2 specialized for this specific ball joint presses to get one out . They also dont come on out once they move . It took a torch and 5 tone press to finally get one of mine out.

I use a cutting torch to just heat the out side of the spindle where the ball joints pressed in then use the ball joint tool to easily push the old one out ! Once out clean the hole for the ball joint up with a wire brush plus top and bottom then use either the torch or a good electric heat gun to slightly heat the hole up then slip the frozen ball joint back in ! You have to work fast or the hole will shrink then you will need to press that ball joint in ! Heat and cold are your friends when doing ball joints ! Also never heat the ball joint it's self as they can explode and actually shoot the threaded ball joint out of the cup like a bullet so only heat the outside of the spindle where the hole is lol ! I had a friend back in the 80s who was doing ball joints on a Ford F150 4x4 who borrowed my torches and never did them before and started heating the ball joint instead of the spindle or around the outside of the hole for the ball joint and the damn ball joint exploded sounding like a 12 gauge shot gun going off and shooting the threaded ball joint out so fast you couldn't see it and putting a big chip in his concrete floor so never ever heat the ball joint it's self lol ! It was funny watching him because when that sucker blew out it scared him enough that he threw the torch to the floor thinking it was the torch that had blown up but it was the ball joint ! I have a 05 Dodge Magnum that I will be doing ball joints and those front rear control arms in the next few days so actually looking forward to doing them so one quick question ? That bad control arm looked like the rear lower for the front was it clunking when going over bumps by chance because the bushing was shot because I think that's what's causing mine to make noise as everything else is tight plus new inner outer tie rods and sway bar bushings so I know the noise isn't from those or the sway bar links as I unhooked them to check for looseness but noticed the lower rear control arm bushings were bad and cracked !

@@rejmonwilson map-gas has always worked for me.... I heat the part that I want to expand, so it loosens it's fit on the part that it's holding.... Sometimes I even spray "knock er' loose" ( a better grade of wd-40 ) on the part , in between heat-cycles just to "shock" the part and help it release....... Thanks for asking... I love sharing.

If you got that 130 kit you will be changing this cheapo kit again also...you get what you pay for....Learned a long time ago rather pay a bit more and only do it once then try to save buying cheapo parts and have to keep replacing them..even if they are LLT replacement parts...funny how you paint everything.....Better watch Freezing parts may void warranty and/or cause them to fail....

People wonder why rental tools are destroyed when they rent them...This is why..WRONG TOOL FOR THE JOB... There is a reason why this press isn't designed to be used for this, and why a normal hydraulic standing press is the right tool.... No need to drill holes and such... Use the right tool for the job instead of rigging tools...This is reason why there is no solid even surface for those cups to sit on , its wrong tool for this job ....
