This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 2 hours 18 minutes

Why at 11:30 did that crusty lower control arm turn into a new one? How does a 4wd replacement of ball joints differ from the 2wd you're working on?

[@willyrida274]

“Light vibration”😂

Take a drink every time he says "quick inspection"

[@austinhanson2295]

Do u have to compress the spring ?

[@gregorygranillo2227]

Dang imagine doing all that work to replace the ball joint just to swap the entire lower control arm all together

[@dimitristrode1757]
