Great guide with thorough commentary, thanks for breaking it down. A word of caution for the DIY people, the upper ball joint requires an adapter for the universal press and you cannot press it back in without it so go ahead and get it when you rent the tools. its a half size cup to allow clearance. No harm, this video is about lowers, like the title says, but hopefully the advice saves time and headache.

Thank you so much, this is the best step by step guide I’ve ever seen, no extra talking, you even included torque specs, and the camera work is amazing, keep it up, great job, this really helped me with my truck

10:41 Yeah, that's helpful. Just skip the part where you put the whole assembly together, insuring we don't know which end the ball joint goes in, nor which pieces of the ball joint press to use. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the video. Didn't need all of it, just wanted to verify house to removed the spindle. Camera work was great without all the shaking Blair witch effects like so many others.

A good rule of thumb is to always screw the nuts back onto to the tiered ends and ball joints, just a little bit, before you start striking the knuckle with a hammer. That way if you miss a strike, you won't gom up the threads on the ball joint.

Do you need to install the snap ring that goes on the bottom of the lower ball joint? It has a groove and it comes with the snap ring, atleast my ball joints ive purchased

[@apexlyve9050]

My ball joints when fully seated, gusranteed seated fully, they dont reach the bottom allowing to put onnthe snap ring, like they are the wrong size being too short

[@76629online]

I especially liked how there was no discussion whatsoever about the camber sleeve on the upper balljoint - or its purpose. Not even remotely important....

[@trickvro]

Do I have to remember to "go ahead" each step of the way? Or can I skip that part to save time?

[@carlturlington4847]

I own a 97 ranger that is not a rusty junkyard fugitive. Would think you could do better.
