BALL JOINT SERVICE
Service Preparation
IMPORTANT: Do not reuse a ball joint if it has been
removed. If removed, it must be replaced. Use this
removal procedure only when replacing the ball
joint.
NOTE: Ball joint tool PU-50506 will allow the upper
and lower ball joints to be replaced with the A-arm
installed on the vehicle.
The A-arm does not need to be removed to perform this
procedure if ball joint tool PU-50506 is used.
1. Properly lift and support the vehicle by the frame.
2. Remove the appropriate front wheel.
3. To service the upper ball joint:
- Remove and discard the two front brake caliper
mounting bolts and remove the caliper from the
brake disc (see “Brakes” chapter).
- Remove and discard the upper ball joint pinch bolt.
- If necessary, remove the lower front shock fastener
from the A-arm to gain enough clearance to install
ball joint tool (PU-50506) on the upper ball joint.
4. To service the lower ball joint:
- Remove and discard the lower ball joint pinch bolt.
- If necessary, remove the lower front shock fastener
from the A-arm to gain enough clearance to install
ball joint tool (PU-50506) on the lower ball joint.
Ball Joint Removal
1. Remove the retaining ring from the ball joint.
2. Install Spacer (A) over the top of the ball joint face.
3. Place Removal Adaptor (B) over the ball joint shaft.
4. Install the Press Asm. (C) onto the A-arm to engage
the ball joint Removal Adapter.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the Press Asm. opening is
only contacting the Spacer (A) and not the ball
joint face.
