Re: Bad Ball Joints

The factory manual shows the ball joint rivet heads being drilled out, then the remaining rivet knocked out with a punch, after the a-arm has been removed.

I don't understand how you know the ball joint holes are bigger on the new joint, when the old joints are still installed on the car?

When you go to bolt them back in make sure you use the bolts in the ball joint kit or buy them from the dealer. You want to be sure they have the necessary hardness needed for suspension parts.
