How easy is it to replace the lower ball joints?
How easy is it to replace the lower ball joins under the front hubs? Is there a procedure. Is it possible to do it yourself?

Re: How easy is it to replace the lower ball joints?
its actually pretty easy. just take the brake caliper off, take the CV nut off, and then take off the whole front knuckle. then beat the balljoint out with a big hammer. and then carefully beat the new one in with a hammer. tap all the way around the whole thing when you do it so you dont damage it.

ive never had a bit of trouble with banging it out. if you have the whole knuckle off the car its cake.
