Ball joint replacement on Volkswagen Jetta Golf mk4
In this Video I am showing you how to replace a ball joint on Volkswagen Jetta Golf MK4 (passenger side). That includes all the Jetta and Golf from 1998 right to 2005.

About Me:
In this channel I will show how to repair your vehicle or other vehicles yourself. I will also show you, teach you some trick what to look for at certain jobs and try to explain the best I can, on why I do it the way I do it. You will see links of the most of the tools and the parts, at good quality and reasonable cost, that I am using in the description of every video (It may be not the exact tool, but a tool that has the same function. So, it may be just a different brand). If any torque specs or other specs are mentioned in the video, they will also be found in the description.

So here I am recording how I repair and trying to help you repair your customer vehicles and also how to fix your own vehicle and save many dollars.
