Whenever I see videos showing how easy it always seems to be, when I see how invariably clean old cars always seem to be in these videos, I usually cringe, considering the tremendous amount of rust and how seriously seized the parts usually are for us in the Canadian Salt Belt, but your video, by showing clearly how to use the press, and the fact even you had to use an impact gun on it, showed me I was on the right path and gave me confidence to keep at it... But it did max out my big electric impact gun before it finally came loose, so much so that I was afraid the clamp might bend or break! Thank you for sharing these videos!

@tkaxxdavexx6874 Год назад

I replaced these hoping to fix a clunk I had when accelerating from a stop and when heavy braking. I started noticing the clunk after I had the subframe out of the car when changing the transmission input shaft bearing. A year later, and after replacing nearly everything in the front end with no success, I finally found the issue. Apparently the subframe should be tightened with weight on the tires, not when jacked up. I loosened the 4 -17mm bolts holding it, let the car off the jack stands, then tightened them back up. Clunking is finally gone! Another thing I did was make sure the sway bar was aligned correctly, equal distance from the control arm on both sides - loosen the 2 bushing brackets and use a pry bar to wiggle it left or right as needed. I even paid a mechanic to diagnose the noise, he had me replacing parts unnecessarily. Thanks for video, hopefully my comment will also help someone out there, cheers!

I havent heard of you guys until recently. I just bought an 02 civic 2 weeks ago and part of the suspension is broken. Overall I need ball joints, struts and sway bar links. I spent an hr trying to find a good brand, and finally settled on you guys due to the great instructional videos, good reviews, and easy customer support in the event the product needs to be returned. I was also looking for good quality parts at a reasonable price, and you fit that. Thank you!

The only thing I'd add is that I usually spray some lubricating oil or put some grease on the jackscrew of the tool. This makes cranking the ball joint out and in a lot easier and it reduces the wear on the jackscrew.

@eslmatt811 5 лет назад

Great video. I borrowed the ball joint press from the local part source (Canada). But the video showed nicely how to put it on the ball joint. Video shows nicely what it is like to work on a clean rust free car. For the rest of us... Keep at it, everything is stronger than you think. I was also not able to get the post out of the lower control arm. I ended up cutting it with a grinder, removing the hub, the placed a metal block under the nut and hammered down in the control arm.

@1AAuto 5 лет назад

+matthew stefels Thanks for the tips! Yes, rust is definitely a common issue as these videos are filmed in the northeast (guess we were lucky with this one). You definitely also want to invest in penetrating oil and give everything a good spray, letting it sit for a while, allowing it to get deep inside the rustiest of spots.

@cw5118 3 года назад

I’m in the same boat.

@drewduncan1670 4 года назад

I just removed both of mine yesterday and neither. Pressed in two new, albeit cheap ones from my local NAPA and paid the price for it - the second one I guess couldn’t even handle the stress of the C clamp pushing directly on its head while using my impact on the other side to drive it in. Got it pressed in and the damn stud just spins freely now, along with the top of the ball joint where the grease fitting goes 🙄. Was gonna try to replace my control arms bushings too but this is already more of a pain in the butt than I’ve wanted it to be, so I just ordered the control arm set with two ball joints from 1A this morning and am gonna be done with it. Thanks for this specific Civic generation’s videos, guys!

Great video. I'm replacing the lower control arms on my son's 04 Civic w/ 194k miles. I'm assuming the ball joints need replacement as well (haven't looked closely at them). I've already completely removed the LCAs. Can I just sledge the BJs out of the hub (removing the snap rings 1st)? Or is there not enough room to maneuver the BJs w/ the hub still attached to everything?

@BrianWader 6 лет назад

At 5min mark. To remove the ball joint remove the clip. Maybe the one on there didn't have one. Toward end he puts on a new clip.

@aprendainglesusandoabiblia5275 3 года назад

How do you get any grease in that fitting, on top of your new lower ball joint.

@HdaTyp3R 2 года назад

This was helpful, but mine required an extra tool due to it being seized to the control arm. So after installing the castle nut and lining it up the hole for the pin, shouldn't the nut be tight to the arm? Mine was not. I compared the new to the old and they were the same lenght but appeared slightly different due the new being aftermarket.

@davidhall3747 5 лет назад

Nice work Man! When you torque the lug nuts- you should be pushing down on the torque wrench- not pulling up. This prevents you from pulling your back out. Use gravity to your advantage.

@YoStu242 6 лет назад

Replacing it for some old Ford was a breeze, just drill out the rivets from control arm and undo the nut from the hub (plenty of room for tool btw.). Install new balljoint using bolts and nuts for rivet holes. Why can't it be as simple for all cars, engineers don't seem to think about making maintenance easy anymore.

@businessraptor134 3 месяца назад

*Pro tip:* grease your new ball joint, then throw it in the freezer overnight or for a few hours. It will shrink and go in much easier with less chance of pressin in crooked. Works with u joints too.

@businessraptor134 7 месяцев назад

I'd suggest putting lug nuts on the studs to protect the threading and to wire brush the surfaces and wipe them clean. I wire brush all my bolts so they don't fight being taken out next time.

@vicoe4 2 года назад

That's kinda confusing as I'm about to do both jobs on Friday. Can you please be specific on the EXACT size socket to use please?? Thank you very much, Ronnie Charfauros

This is not uncommon. Use a big c-clamp to force the ball joint in the strut or jack the car under the lower control arm, which put enough force on the ball joint to keep it fro spinning while you tighten it.

i highly advise against removing the knuckle for these two reasons, 1. The ball joint can be removed without removing the knuckle/wheel hub assembly from the car. 2. Removing the knuckle is going to mess up your alignment settings. You're going to cause uneven tire wear unless you want to go pay to have your car realigned.

Great video except one detail that people should realize, I noticed a grease fitting on this ball joint and that the fitting should have had a ninety degree fitting cause you will not be able to grease that joint cause of the cv axle being in the way but the ninety degree would allow you to grease that joint during maintenance.

@1:30 DO NOT do this. Put the wheel back on, lower the car and set the parking brake. The way he’s doing it will damage the threads of the wheel studs. The 01-05 civic is known to have weak studs to begin with.
