I love the reality that is posted here. I don't know how many times I look at a ball joint and say, "It's only three bolts and a castle nut; I can get that out easy!" Three hours later I'm just getting the first bolt out, lol. Keep it up! Well done.

[@tsgibson91]

Awesome video. You tackled that like it would happen in the real world..complete with difficulties, re-dos and "what ever it takes" advise. Now I know I can do it too.

+GR8 Scott Thanks for the feedback!

Great video, very detailed. The only problem I encountered was the long bolt. I spray everything two days and again a day before working on it with Kroil but after removing the nut, the bolt refused to move. I mushroomed two nuts, it did not move a fraction of a millimeter. I used air impact wrench from the other side like you suggested forward and backward and finally it moved a little, i sray more Kroil wait it a little more and it finally moved, that was the driver side. Passenger side; one hit and it was out. be prepare for that. The rest was a snap. Thanks again.

Great vid bro, everything was on point... I just did both lower ball joints on my 2013 Hyundai Tucson Limited, and I will emphasize that Penetrating Oil and HEAT 🔥 goes A LOOOOONG WAY!!! Makes things go a lot smoother and quicker. Just don’t melt those axle boots 😁

Very informative and clear shots of what going on, great video!

[@77biker777]

Real world job done. Thank you guys!

A1 Auto you are the best!

My lower ball joint is mounted on top of control arm- 2011 Hyundai Sonata, Limited trim.

[@pinoyeh]

Very informative. My 2012 Sonata GLS have a different shape control arm (sport suspension) , thus, it uses a different ball joint where the ball joint is mounted on top of the control arm. Nevertheless, the replacement and install is very similar.

[@1AAuto]

+pinoyeh Thank you for the comments and for watching!

[@fla331boy7]

pinoyeh, I have a 2011 GLS and mine also mount on top. So weird in my opinion as I'm finding a lot of parts were changed when mine was assembled. Any idea what length your sway bar links are in the front?

[@thatonedude7070]

Yup i got the 2012 gls model too and i guess it has the sport suspension cuz mine also has the different ball joint(that mounts on top of the control arm for the sport suspension

[@MorbidXTC]

Cv axle question. Should there be any in and out movement between hub joint part and next joint up ( by trans ) when a new axle is installed?

[@anglosaxon1622]

Good video, easy on a newer vehicle. But my seven years old Santa Fe is giving trouble. The pinch bolt is really rusted in solid. Trying all the rusty removal remedies but it's not budging.

[@freerider604]

Thank you - I’m saving this video for when I’m doing mine! Do you need to replace the bushings?

[@SonicOrbStudios]

definitely worth replacing if you're in there after 100k mi

[@helalsulieman]

I wonder how it sounded after he shoved the backing plate onto the rotor lol

[@Mr71chevyvan]

what were the torque specs again?

[@jaberomayan3595]

Do you have to do an alignment after replacing the lower ball joint? I just had an alignment done recently and they said one of the ball joints needed replacing. Apparently if they did the alignment first before replacing the ball joint, they’d have to do another alignment.

[@1AAuto]

+Jaber Omayan Thanks for watching! It is not necessary to get an alignment done after replacing a ball joint unless you had one done when the ball joint was loose before.

[@chuckdecarlo4456]

This was WAY harder than it needed to be. Just take the other mounting bolts out (2) of the lower control arm then remove the LCA. THEN you can bang on the ball joint- NO air tools needed.

[@SolunaTUBE]

100% ..imo too Id just replace the whole LCA. Why screw with it. Much easier and you will have new bushings for the LCA.

[@georgedavall9449]

Chucky the know it all dude, But damn fine point just the same! 🙄😄😁😂🤣

[@mylord4321]

Good work

[@xbluepuddingx]

The pewww was really necessary man! Lol

[@johntzeimet]

Great video, but after watching it , there's no way that I would tackle that. Also I do not have those kind of tools air chisel, torch, unfortunately not.

[@heribertonoeto6779]

Thank you, very good video.

[@danh2134]

Is that bolt that connects the knuckle to the control arm available at 1A auto?

[@restinpeacekobe2411]

Mine has a ball joint but no two nuts. But the ball joint looks exactly like this. What do I do. There’s no top spindle cause the what looks like the rotor holder is encased in it

[@Serie56sfm]

Perfect. Thank you

[@heribertonoeto6779]

Excelente video

[@celrey5867]

muy bien video pero no mostti como quitó los tornillos. ahí si como que no estuvo bien idea

[@jorgegarciajr2806]

Is this the same for a 2014 Elantra??

[@1AAuto]

+Jorge Garcia Thanks for checking us out! We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task.

[@xandercage5792]

Can u do a vid on the inner tie rod ends pls

[@megat8989]

would be much easier if replacing the whole lower control arm assembly.

[@brary6269]

My car broke the ball joint but the thing is its not moving a cm in drive or reverse and when i put it in park after that it makes cranking noise while idle.

[@1AAuto]

+brar y We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@pheehzero]

This should be labelled '11-'14 and not include 2010.

[@BADD400]

Good video

[@supersabrosinho]

No para nada. En ciertas partes de aquí de Estados Unidos donde predomina la herrumbre, la primera herramienta que se saca es el martillo más grande que se encuentre en el taller. Junto con el soplete de oxiacetileno

[@1AAuto]

+Sabroso Lopez Thanks for the tip!

[@stevegosnell4058]

Pretty much beat the hell out of it.

[@stephanM5]

When is this guy going to learn that it is a "vehicle" not a "verhicle"?

[@MrRight-MAGA]

2010 has a different set up.

[@jerometruitt2731]

This tells me ball joints are gonna be a pain in the ass....

[@dannypalmer7701]

Spray it

[@lgisdatdude]

Bonk!!
