Re: Upper Ball Joint Question

did you replace your cv axles yourself... or did someone else do it?

Does it do it on acceleration and deceleration?

Ive been reading on the balljoints and replacing them. Here is what I got from hayne's book.

1.) The front suspension uses two balljoints. The upper balljoint, located in the upper control arm, CAN'T BE REMOVED. If it's worn or damaged, replace the upper control arm. ( See Section 5 )

2. The lower balljoint, located in the steering knuckle, can be removed, but special tools are needed. If it's worn or damaged, remove the knuckle ( See Section 7 ) and take it to an automotive machine shop or other repair shop to have it replaced.

And thats all it saies on that subject.
