SUSPENSION AND STEERING SYSTEMS
BALLJOINTS | REPLACEMENT

WARNING: Whenever any of the suspension or steering fasteners are loosened or removed, they must be inspected and, if necessary, replaced with new ones of the same part number or of original equipment quality and design.

Torque specifications must be followed for proper reassembly and component retention.

1979 THROUGH 1982 MODELS
  1. If the balljoint is damaged or worn, the entire lower arm must be replaced, as the balljoint is not removable. Refer to Section 4 for the lower arm removal and installation procedure.


  2. 1983 AND LATER MODELS (FRONT), 1988 AND LATER MODELS (REAR)

    UPPER BALLJOINT

  3. If the upper balljoint is in need of replacement, separate the upper arm balljoint from the knuckle (following the procedure in Section 5 or 13), unbolt the balljoint from the arm and install a new one. Tighten the fasteners to the specified torque.
