New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASBJ00288
Modern 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 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. This video shows you how to install new quality TRQ ball joints on your 2011-14 Chrysler 200.

By far the simplest approach I've seen thus far on YT. I love the fact that you avoid having to remove the whole spindle. Thanks for sharing!

[@deniswauchope3788]

You make that look so easy! Maybe not for me though, since I don't have a lift or those handy tools. I wish there were a garage that would let a customer use their vehicle lifts, but apparently lawyers & insurance companies have made that impossible these days for liability reasons. Still, I reckon I could do the work, but it sure wouldn't be as easy. Nice video, I like the clarity & simplicity!

[@davidrobins4025]

Simple, Clear and Concise - exactly the information I am looking for to do this job on my 2013 Dodge Charger. Thank You!

[@75jdwest]

My front end sounds so much better thanks thanks to you! Way to go.

[@LETSHOOP]

The best short cut way. Thanks! now I know.🙂

[@Godoyjr.]

Looks so easy , great video

[@jefffarrenkopf2847]

excellent presentation! love the tips and details.

[@motoxmuseum]

There is an easier way to remove the clip holding the ball joint in place. Remove the disk brake splash shield and there is a slot that allows you to remove the clip with a pin punch and hammer.

[@davebanach9891]

If you have a lift then this is easy, if you don’t have a lift it’s a bit of a pain and that’s what I had to do unfortunately.

[@ollydbg9653]

Excellent video and Thank you

[@Snowman3g]

Great videos helped out a lot

[@marcusdarnell3348]

Great video! If you didn't have an air hammer could you have used an a regular hammer to tap on the socket to get the ball joint in there?

[@TRQ]

+Marcus Darnell Thanks for watching! You certainly can, just be sure to use a block of wood on the stud so you do not mushroom it.

[@ymanning2347]

I like ur videos but no way I could remove the ball joint without that type of equipment

[@johnlampe3]

Thank you for the excellent video

[@drizzygunz96]

Would this be the same process for a 2013 Dodge Dart ?

[@williamivery1809]

A+

[@connorj1382]

What if I don’t have an air chisel? It looks like that would be hard to do by hand. (Taking about the part after he used the C clamp)

[@4leafmetal]

Damn I want an air hammer!!!!!!

[@TRQ]

+4leafmetal Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@thatoneguyprobably6633]

[@Snowman3g]
