LOOSE STEERING ON YOUR SUPERDUTY? INSPECT THIS:

Replacing worn out track bar ball joint on a 2015 F350.

[@unassignedvlog5556]

Nice instructional straight forward, showed all issues with no BS rambling!

[@royjimenez6789]

Ford Company need to pay us money we are driving Fords with to much problems

[@kevindunn175]

Use a slightly bigger cup so the boot doesn’t stick to the inside of the cup when you take it back off maybe? Need to do a whole front rebuild on my 03 king ranch suspension.

[@raincitywrench117]

Yea, exactly. Same thought I had.

[@nicholasdonin1465]

Bigger culprit for death wobble too!

[@drostly3220]

I think when I did mine.. I had to have an angled cup to drive in the ball joint.. 08' 350 dually..

[@marksheridan7841]

Super helpful! I'm paying a pro to do it!

[@raincitywrench117]

👍 Without the proper tools, it's almost impossible.

[@gaelewis6623]

The orange obsorber with bumps on it?

[@darrylt1031]

great video....thanks for showing the remedy for the dust boot re-attachment....just goes to show...even the best mechanics run into "snags" now and then....cheers..

[@raincitywrench117]

Oh boy, I run into a lot of "snags". LOL

[@langmussen3169]

Stellar!

[@rconcord9]

Very good video ! Thanks

[@turbof350]

Finally a CE course that had my total attention. Very good speaker and such useful information. I plan on watching it a second time to get this engraved into my brain.

[@AZWSM]

Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Getting ready to do this. Looking for a press i can buy that will do it without the price of the OTC one. Haha.

[@raincitywrench117]

Check your local parts house, Napa, Oreillys, etc. They probably have a ball joint press set you can rent.

[@chekelley6861]

Great tip! It seems like that should rarely wear out!

[@buddymartin7923]

Awesome video thank you? What was the music?

[@raincitywrench117]

Thank You! Can't remember, just something random off Epidemic Sound.

[@stuartbrock7586]

they said you should tighten the one bolt when the truck is on the ground.

[@Bill-ts9zv]

Very good

[@richardweidner7036]

Great job thank you

[@R1Brooklyn]

Cool video. Nice video angles, are you wearing a gopro on your head or chest?

[@raincitywrench117]

I'm using an ORDRO head mounted camera. The audio stinks so I don't use it anymore 😢 www.amazon.com/Wearable-Camcorder-Hands-Free-Stabilizer-Included/dp/B08FDBB76K/ref=asc_df_B08FDBB76K/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475811286124&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5913486307629774678&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033404&hvtargid=pla-1181766343647&psc=1&mcid=1b553ee2ff9330339972525372685249&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH52brgN0f16E-HapGVAYQMSoUjnS0Y-TYclIkY8vUMzJXvnrDiryXFYaAhIKEALw_wcB

[@Lance-Scaping]

Does the truck need to be lifted when doing this or can I leave it on the ground?

[@raincitywrench117]

It can be done on the ground with the tires still on or you can jack it up on stands to get a little more room working on it.

[@juanchavez7152]

Can’t wait until you replace the opposite side of that bar I think it’s a small metal rubber bushing great video

[@RichardJaehnigen]

In my opinion the bushing was much easier than the ball joint. I had to cut my ball joint out with a torch.

[@azcharlie2009]

This job might be better left to a pro...

[@raincitywrench117]

You can rent the ball joint tool but yea, not the easiest repair.

[@scenicroutetravelers3655]

Would this issue make the truck "walk"?

[@raincitywrench117]

Definitely. It could still have another issue like overinflated tires or other loose components. With the truck running in park, have someone rock the steering wheel back and forth and take a peek under the front to see if something is obviously loose.

[@tylerdunn6578]

Destroy it and you will have no other reason but change it

[@raincitywrench117]

Pretty much

[@wejaith3]

Which otc kit is that? Great video!

[@raincitywrench117]

This is the set I have: www.amazon.com/OTC-Tools-6530-Service-Kit/dp/B000O1C396

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

@@raincitywrench117 Is that the "long reach" size or are they all the same?

[@chopone2]

Some packages have a plastic cup used to drive the boot on after pressing the ball joint into place.

[@Hugobosz99]

What is that dodge (cup dye) for the press what cpuld I use instead

[@raincitywrench117]

I bet you could find a cup or sleeve that would work out of most ball joint press sets like this one from harbor freight: www.harborfreight.com/ball-joint-service-kit-for-2wd-and-4wd-vehicles-63279.html?campaignid=12144811130&adsetid=117789282878&product=63279&store=52&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvqeUBhCBARIsAOdt45aJT2uXfs5cZtbR89Nad-IapOgu3hPczTodBl1s-WgsZ2VgKbgR4CUaAqGkEALw_wcB

[@mike1567]

Is this a reason why lofted trucks sometimes drive weird/sway/float on high speed?

[@raincitywrench117]

Definitely. If a drop down bracket isn't installed on the driver side of the track bar then that will also make the truck wander around & drive like crap.

[@ryanegbert1170]

Can you elaborate more on this bracket? 2011 F350

[@matteckert6676]

So if you dont have those cups is there another option? Would hate to spend money on something i will probably never use again

[@raincitywrench117]

Replacement will be tough without the cups. Renting a ball joint service set would be a great option.

[@71usmc]

Use a big socket 😊

[@lalozichlids3245]

Could this be causing death wobble?

[@Kyle-fu6en]

Definitely

[@raincitywrench117]

It could. Do you have any suspension modifications? If so then check the alignment. Too much negative caster will cause death wobble also.

[@lalozichlids3245]

@@raincitywrench117 yes, 6 inch rough country lift

[@gaelewis6623]

What's the Orange bushings on frame chasy called in your video?
