Running big tires can reek havoc on your ball joints. I've had enough. Time for a better solution! americanironoffroad.com/ Kit for Jeep Dana 44 or Dana 30 Axles: americanironoffroad.com/produ...
One trick that helps with pressed in materials is put the ball joint delete in the deep freeze for several hours before you are doing the job. Shrinks the part and makes it a bit easier.
Came to your channel for this video. Plan on getting myself a set when my spicers wear out. Will for sure be checking out your other videos too man. Good stuff. Thanks!
Just an fyi for others, it seems the design has changed there are no longer 2 nuts and the torque specs are now 45 lower then top 45lbs put weight on the vehicle then tighten bottom to 65 in 10lb increments.
Sure did. I tightened the adjusting collar with every oil change, or after every 2 or 3 wheeling trips. I noticed that a few months ago I was no longer able to turn the collar as it had reached the end of it's threads.
It's a very slight knurling. Also I'm not sure what you mean by "destroy" is these never have to be removed. It is a permanent solution for poorly performing traditional ball joints.
Jeeps have solid front axles and camber adjustment will not be needed and so no ability to adjust it is present. if you have camber, your axle c's are bent and you can correct for them with off set balljoints. Caster is typically adjusted with lengthening or shortening control arms.
I have the first Gen bearings, so yes they did squeak as they were breaking in. Only lasted a few months. The newer sets have the Gen 2 bearings which are quieter. The steering is great! Very tight. Super happy with my choice.
Holding up perfectly! I have the first gen deletes. Josh has already made several updates and is now on a 3rd gen product. Nothing but great things to say about the concept, the product, and the company.
Steering feels exactly like stock when the Jeep was new. Biggest difference is all the slop is now gone from the front end because of the worn out ball joints that were in there before. No more clunking, everything feels tight and right.
