You saved me a bundle of cash. I watched your video. I investigated my control arms/ ball joints assemblies on my 2002 Ford Explorer. The control arms were in good shape. The ball joints were shot. I pressed out the old and in the new. Both sides were installed with relative ease. The tools did the work. I would not have attempted the job if I had not seen your work. Thanks for bolstering my confidence.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Great! These days every penny counts and time is priceless!! Thanks for watching!

[@falsealarmno]

​@Fixing With Passion Hello. I noticed that you didn't remove the axle. I've seen videos where they were removed.

[@paulthepainter2366]

This is sooo much better than the one that comes up first when searching. Liked and subscribed

[@FixingWithPassion]

Nice!!

[@Good2go6894]

Thanks for posting this DIY video. Even today there's not much information about replacing just the upper ball joints. I recently went to get a front end alignment only to learn I had to Install a camber/caster kit before the alignment could be done. After installing the kit I realized I also needed both upper ball joints. This DIY video saved me alot of money

[@MartinGarcia-lg7zx]

Bro a cam kit is less than 20$ 😮 be a man and fix your car the right way

[@manbearpig2164]

I did my lowers the other day, my remover kit didn't have the right sleeve, so I made one , took almost 4 hours, great video, straight to the point

[@regthebackyardjackofalltrades]

Thank you. I used some of your points 8n your video, FordTechMakuloco and others to get the job done. I couldn’t knock the upper ball joint loose with a 2lb Brass hammer or even my 3lb mallet(I didn’t want to mar my aluminum knuckles). I used my angle grinder to cut the stud apart then pressed the lower ball joint loose. I was able to press the upper half out(it took some time and ingenuity) but the issue was pressing out the upper ball joint stud. I went to my driveway and secured the knuckle to my work platform, flattened to stud to fit the separator. At that time my neighbor came to look and I didn’t have the time to talk. I told him to get out the way but he had to look. I got mad after because the 2” stud ricochet off my driveway increased with speed and barely missed him. I had to walk across the street to get the stud. All worked well, no one hurt. I only have a grainy video but if you slow it down you can see the stud fly.

[@theshovster8505]

BEFORE using lubrication on an bolt threads use a small wire brush and compressed air if you have it. It will make things go a lot smoother. Great video and useful advice about not pounding the knuckle before nut is off : D

Yea I used a wire brush on the passengers side but still was tough to get off but I know what you mean ;)

Thanks from Australia!

[@BWater-yq3jx]

Given that even after getting hold of a press kit and managing to get the BJ out, some people have found the new one doesn't seat tightly (i.e. pops out) on balance I reckon you'd want to play it safe and buy a control arm assembly (with the BJ in it). Especially if you're about due for an alignment. 😉

[@leonanderson3619]

Haynes manual states that ball joints on 02 thru 2010 explorers are nonserviceable and should be replaced with control arm as an assembly.

[@timonraccoon]

Yeah also make sure when you are installing the new upper ball joint to give the bolt plenty of space to not touch the bottom of the press because mine touched against the metal and it blew the boot off the bolt and completely destroyed it. Now I gotta wait a week for the new one to come in

Do you have to loosen the bolt for the axle?

[@AntoineFinch]

No don't listen unless it a 4 wheel drive

[@ourstardestiny4960]

What brand did you buy and where did you get them?

[@ourstardestiny4960]

So I don't need to remove the tie rod or control arm or anything else? I'm just thinking about whether it will drop down far enough to get it out.

[@Blackford86]

If you were to put your ball joint in the freezer for a couple hours, it’s probably slide in there a whole lot easier

[@llorens1027]

Dude nice work! Whats gonna be your next project on that car ?

[@amtpdb1]

I have a f150 2004 Lariat and I need to replace the ball joints in the top as the grease boot is busted. Ford says I have to replace the ball joint and the control arm. Is it possible that the ball joint by itself could be replaced as you did it here? Thanks for the video.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Don't listen to ford.

[@trawwonthetrack]

Great video but replacing the upper control arm is also easy it’s only 2 bolts on the underside it’s best to replace the control arms with ball joints so you don’t have that crazy bouncy ride I see his upper control arms do have a lot of play when there brand new you can’t push them up or down like that and you get a better ride but seeing he is selling his ride this method works great also great vid..took me 1hr to replace both sides whole upper control arm 1hr each side and you can also access any rust issues while they are off..seeing my lower control arms look brand new but the joints are bad I’ll use this method for my lower...thumbs up.

[@FixingWithPassion]

True. I just figured I'd save some time not worrying about doing a aliment if I took out those 2 bolts and replaced the upper control arm. But you are right. Call me cheap...hehe

[@trawwonthetrack]

TVWXMAN32 you don’t have to do a alignment when you replace the whole arms they are already factory tightened your alignment comes from your tie rods the only thing a control arm is adjusting is height...but your all set anyway but there is no difference when you change the whole arm you just get a tighter less bouncy ride...upper control arm lower control arms are height adjustments along with shocks and struts that’s all I have a 2004 explorer and I love it...very durable truck..

[@FixingWithPassion]

Yea your right. I was thinking about my expedition. It does have adjustable bolts on the top of the control arm. I just made paint marks for reference.

[@trawwonthetrack]

TVWXMAN32 expedition is different I don’t know if their arms are factory tightened but usually if it’s past a 98 when replacing arms alignment is not needed as long as you can position the keys back into the holes you don’t mess with the side bolts at all where the bushings are those bolts are usually factory tightened to spec you only want to unbolt what’s directly on the frame which is usually 2 bolts , never mess with the bushing bolts that’s where you will never get your right rideif you accidentally losen the bushing bolts then you jack the front end off the ground and tighten them as tight as you can you can get a higher lift and ride that way also especially people who have the saggy front end that goes down lol...but you taught me something new bud I’m just letting you know it’s less work doing the whole arms also that’s all not bashing your work...

[@FixingWithPassion]

Thanks. Yea my 2000 expedition, I had to change the entire control arm with the ball joint. For some reason that year is all one piece. But its done and it drives great!

[@josephb5677]

Can you please post the link of the ball joints you bought? I have a 2003 ford explorer as well and need to replace either the ball joints or upper control arm. I'm cheap and want to do just the ball joints. Thanks

Is the job relatively the same for a 1999? I have a Mountaineer but I know model name doesn't make a difference.

[@FixingWithPassion]

It should be.

[@brasstacks1790]

if you use a hard bristle brush to clean the bottom of the bolt before you grease it, you wont need to tighten the nut back and forth several times.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Yes true!!

[@brasstacks1790]

@@FixingWithPassion thanks for reminding me that auto part stores have rentals. i need to replace all 4 of them on an 01 explorer thats in perfect condition other than the front end. only paid $1300 for it. got a hell of deal if i do the labor myself. motor, tranny and everything else is just fine.

[@NoelKerns]

Curious...you used grease to facilitate the initial insertion of the joint into the arm, and you seemed to press it in most of the way by simply tapping with a hammer. As easy as it was to tap in, how is it that the grease doesn't create a risk of a joint creeping back out on it's own?

[@FixingWithPassion]

Its in there pretty tight. There is no load on the upper ball joint like the lower ball joint.

[@bigworm751503]

You should always use a Torque wrench! Especially when it comes to steering an drivetrain.

[@barrydouthitt5342]

what about the c clip where does it go?

[@deadhead7930]

Exactly. The snap ring either goes between the ball joint and the CA or somewhere on the bottom of the BJ. I'm not sure but no one shows this. Factory ball joints are spot welded or pressed. I don't think it's safe just pressing it in using the C clamp.

[@one7decimal2eight]

Does having the lower arm free put stress on the front axle?

[@FixingWithPassion]

Yeah

[@one7decimal2eight]

@@FixingWithPassion so perhaps it would be a good to bungee the arm to the spring when hitting with a hammer to keep it in one place?

[@viperfukgoogplus386]

Why would you do this when the whole control arm is easier and quicker to change and only costs $20 more?

[@FixingWithPassion]

I guess you like shelling out another $80 for a alignment. Good luck getting it back exactly where the factory specs were with a new control arm. Maybe that's why.

[@reignsuprememedia6820]

Don't know if there's a big difference I have a 03 and my ball joint nut was actually 18 mmmm

If you loosen that nut WITHOUT taking it off all the way and then start hitting it guess what....yep it will spin around and around all day and sometimes you can't get it off because its become lose in the spindle.

Use a ball joint puller. WTF are you doing beating on an $ 800.00 steering knuckle with a hammer ?!?! Just FYI for ball joint replacement on gen 3 and 4 explorers , the complete , better than OEM upper control arm assembly is available for $ 110.00 U.S. at NAPA . includes nuts , washers, bushings , ball joint with a urethane boot and grease fitting . It's a Moog part so it may be available cheaper . I replace these several times a week. the labor and unreliability of replacing just the ball joint in a sheet metal control arm is not only time consuming , it can lead to unseen metal fatigue resulting in catastrophic failure . We can't do the joint only fix at our shop because of liability issues . ,
