Front Ball Joint Needs Fixed/Directions

[Johnsonty1024]

Need help/direction on how to fix this.Should i take it to the shop or do it myself ? What tools will i need if i decide to do it myself ? Can the rubber thing be replaced ?

You cannot fix it, replace it.
All you need is a screwdriver and a hammer. Take the screwdriver and put it in one of the slots on the bottom of the ball joint and tap it out. It is regular right hand thread.
Here is a $40 replacement.

@Alex456123......So how do i put it all back together ?

 

[alex456123]

Like I said its threaded, so when you put in the new one, it just threads in and you tighten it by doing that same thing you did to take it out in the other direction lol.

I prefer to use a good pipe wrench to remove and install a new joint.

@Gen1Pat someone told me that i will have to get the little ball pressed back into the rubber part with a machine . Is that true ? if you look at the first picture maybe you can see what i am talking about .

No there not pressed in I did mine using a wooden block and hammer.. Put your for quad on a jack and put a foot long 4x4 under the A Arm and tap the bad one out with a hammer..
