Excellent tutorial video...thank you!

This is a great video. Question: I've heard that the steering knuckle is aluminum, is that correct? If so, should you be hammering on it to break the UCA free? Seems like it could damage it.

I'm working on my uncle's 2006 dodge ram 1500 4x4. I ordered the front suspension kit from you guys. It came with upper ball joints. I see what appears to be a solid ring on the bottom of the ball joint but I'm not sure if that's just the bottom rim of the ball joint. I don't see a snap ring at the bottom of the ball joint. I'm assuming it can be removed since the upper ball joint is sold separately. Any advice before I proceed with this job? Would like to record it for KZbin. Thanks!

My 2006 is tough to get those two bolts loosened and out. Plastic shield in the way

so I have a 05 1500 4x4 slt 5.7 my upper control arms has long tabs on it the bolts were a pain to get out ended up using an air hammer on one side it came out the other side I just cut the bolt off now I'm wondering do I need the tabs that are on the bolt head I got new grade 8 bolts for the new upper control arm I also have used replacement bolts coming the original ones with the tabs coming as. well I noticed my brother's 03 both bolts on both sides have the tabs my and my 05 the driver side had 1 bolt with a tab and passenger side both bolts had tabs do they do anything or can I just put new bolts in there I would just throw original bolts in there with the tabs but I can really only find used bolts with the tabs both local auto parts stores the bolts they have for the upper control arm does not have the tabs on it so any help would be great

This is new I have never seen anybody use a torque wrench to put a tire on. What happened to the 4 way that everybody uses?? The young!

[@willminnick6737]

What size was the bolts???

[@ocastego8645]

If i change it, i should do alignment after change it or is no necessary?

[@GnarlyGnarwall]

Always reccomend getting an alignment after replacing steering and suspension components
