Should the alignment be checked after this repair?

[@JimmysAutoClinic]

Most times the alignment does not have to be checked or altered after a ball joint repair, that being said I definitely recommend keeping an eye on your tires to make sure they wear properly.

[@JimRaymaker]

Removal was relatively easy. Until I was installing the new Ball joint and realized the spindle was lower and turned clockwise (no longer centered as in your video) making reassembly impossible. I only had one side of the vehicle lifted. Should both wheels be lifted to unload the suspension to have avoid this? Thank you.

[@JimmysAutoClinic]

Yes both Wheels should be lifted so that you do not have an uneven load on the suspension. I believe the controller is not effective but the strut is held by the stabilizer link.

[@Jpiersaint15]

Did you use new bolts for the ball joint are did you remove the bolts from the old ball joint?

[@JimmysAutoClinic]

Hey James the ball joint that we got ended up coming with new bolts. Every single one that I have purchased for any Hyundai product usually comes with new bolts so I just use the new bolts.

Allll Right 👍

[@johndooley8837]

Thank you for this video. 33ft lbs may be low for the pinch bolt Alldata says 72-86.

[@JimmysAutoClinic]

Hey John can you timestamp where I said the torque value. I'll look it up on shop key again. And then I'll cross reference it with the dealer when I get a chance. Thank you though for letting me know.

[@johndooley8837]

@@JimmysAutoClinic Wow fast reply, it's at about 9:04 . Thanks for caring, good on you.

[@JimmysAutoClinic]

Hey John I think you are correct. I don't remember where I got the torque spec from I believe it was from the dealership. All data does say 72 to 86 ft lb. Shop key also says the same thing. I'll update the description hopefully people come across this. I don't know how I can re-edit the video or fix it on KZbin. I'll try to figure something out. Thanks for letting me know I appreciate it.

Why use bad language

[@JimmysAutoClinic]

Hey Charles I really appreciate the question. I think it's a number of things for me. Just the stress of life some days and then dealing with ridiculous repairs other days can contribute to me using not so good language. I think it really helps me with my frustration, of course depending upon the day. Unfortunately in the trade the four letter word along with most of it's other friends are commonly used. I don't know why that is the culture but it definitely is lol. The stress of running a shop and life itself definitely doesn't help with the use of profanity. Hopefully you didn't find it offensive.
