  • very bad and very dangerous...

  • Are you from Washington?!?!??!?!? This was my 4runner? Maybe?! 

  • Ladies I recommend you never to go to the mechanic witouth your husband.

  • See how tight is my boner

  • oh kayy, oh kayyyy, oh kayyyyy

  • the outcome o this is very funny and usually happens in reverse on full lock. a front wheel drive anyway lolol

  • Oh god that voice...

  • Thank you Jeff for this demonstration. I have a '98 Lincoln Mark VIII with 160,000 miles on it. Most of the front end suspension is original. I tested both lower ball joints the way you did it after seeing this. They seem fine but I'm going to replace them because time and mileage is against me!

  • is it bad if i said mine were worse before i replaced them? i could practically pull em apart with my hands.

  • anybody who doesn't realize the constant clunk clunk from the front end over every bump deserves for there car to fall apart IMO. if you ignore a fault its your own fault when your wheel falls off or goes sideways. you heard the noise and chose to ignore it and then decided it would be a good idea to add passengers.

  • honestly do this check, i was driving on the freeway with my two kinds in the car and my passenger ball joint broke my wheel turned completely sideways and ripped the drive shaft out too. had to replace both. thank God we slid off the freeway rather than into the middle of it.

  • Well congratulations! And you had to get ASE certified to tell that.....Thats a piss poor video

  • I had a customer come in with one worse then this. I went to test it and just as I put some load on the ball joint, it separated completely. If she even hit a pot-hole coming into the shop, it would have come apart. It's scary to think people wait that long before having "a noise" checked out.

  • So it's pretty bad when my passenger ball joint wiggles around in a complete circle? haha better replace that MYSELF. damn shop trying to charge me for a whole lower control arm assembly.

  • @louevilmetalhead Some lower ball joints come as a sealed unit in the control arm and the only way to replace it is to replace the entire thing, stupid ass design be mad at the engineers for that not the mechanic... these arnt so easy to do btw so goodluck doing it alone

  • @Chadb89 True, but I have access to separate press-in style ball joints.

  • @louevilmetalhead Ah i see, those are fun to replace :/

  • @Chadb89 eh I'll rent me a popper from autozone. shouldn't be too bad.

  • @louevilmetalhead Yeah good idea just be sure to set the new c clip underneath the rubber boot right for the new one or water and stuff can get in there and rust it out prematurely

  • We had a passenger side ball joint on our 2000 4 runner fail. fortunately the wife was in town at low speed. The dealer said that they are not prone to see them fail. But in the video that joint needs replaced. Very Scary..

  • @lowrider9367 do u think they last forever.... no replace them stupid

  • Comment removed

  • I understand a lot of people get mad at shops for doing stuff like this, yes they do want to sell more to make more, but something like this isn't just a sales pitch, this is also a free safety inspection. Would you rather the shop not tell the guy and the ball joint comes apart and he kills someone in an accident. Or would you rather them tell him and he gets it fixed and drives safely? Its not just about making money people!

  • FUCK YOU YOUTUBE

  • Mine came apart on the trail..... I dont recomend it.

  • holly hell all you dipshits came up with these coments from this video you should thank this guy for seeing this holly shit do u know what happens if that ball joint comes apart at highway speeds you could roll that truck and die and by the way no they dont come that way from the factory you dumb ass

  • Thanks for the Update!

  • scary american cars lol sounds like money for Jeff....they made them like that out of the factory. So owners will deal with costly repairs BS. NO MORE GM EVER AGAIN FOR ME lmao

  • Get the Moog suspension parts,have a real hassle free lifetime warranty.There are some know it alls that think a bad suspension part is not a safety risk.It is a safety risk,will come apart mentioned in this video.Luckily have one customer,runs an industrial painting company and has one policy: if there is something else wrong with it,fix it with no questions asked.Down time with a vehicle costs money and this owner does not want this.

  • Chevy? Looks too heavy to be a half ton IFS

  • now wtf was that? Ask yourself was it really worth making this video? The woman sound in the background is annoying like hell.

  • It would be interesting to put a camera on these suspension components while the vehicle is going down the road. Knowing what's wrong in your car is tricky with just sound and feel.

  • nice and tight..this is how it should be..

  • jus replaced these on my 93 accord....easy cheese...took about an hour in my apt complex parking lot....wish i had a shop...prob woulda took 20 min

  • sounds fat

  • fuck your 100 inspection.... free with an oil change. Yeah, so they can sell you more shit you dont need. Obviously he needs ball joints but still, i hate it when places like tire kingdom and jiffy lube find thousands of dollars worth of repairs to a car or truck that just needs an oil change

  • @bertman668 Sounds like someone should just stay on top of their car maintenance. I work on cars for fun and see people that think similar to you all the time. Always think the mechanic is trying to screw you out of money when most are just looking out for your well being bc said customer cant take care of their own car. Yes, some mechanics and shops do screw some ppl over but that shouldn't label the entire profession. Bottom line Cars are a bad investment and cost money to maintain period.

  • @kazeboy1 In my experience and friends and family there seems to be way more crooked mechanics than honest ones. Small towns seem more honest to me but i live in a small town soo... best advice is know whats wrong with your car then take it somewhere and if they say anything else is wrong with it take it somewhere else.

  • @Bamavol89 Well I agree best thing is to figure out yourself what is wrong with your car. better than taking it somewhere else to have them fix it how bout learning to fix it yourself. And what if something else is wrong with your car that the 1st place didn't catch wouldn't you want to know? Ive seen this happen before; You tell someone something is wrong with their car, then you catch something else and tell them about it, they say leave it be, then when it breaks later they blame the mechanic

  • @kazeboy1 well i was talking bout if they tell you that the problem that you know the cause is caused by something else.

  • @kazeboy1 i stay on top of my Trucks maintenance. I do all the work on it myself for this reason. I stand by my comment and so do the 18 people that gave it a thumbs up.

  • @kazeboy1 its a win win situation for the mechanics anyways... either we upsell them things that are going to get worse soon, or we let them come in on the towtruck for a new engine/transmission which will sell even better!

    so now that i think of it, i don't give a fuck what ya'll think. You'll be coming to my shop on the flatbed

  • @kazeboy1 only one problem with your post, cars arent a bad investment, i wouldnt have a job or be able to go to college without one. along with many people.

  • @slapoutz True, but if push came to shove you could probably find another way to those places. Public Transportation or bicycle maybe walk? I dont know your situation or anyone elses but thats just a guess. I say they're a bad investment bc they are. They break down and always need money to keep them on the road. I modify cars so i know how much money can be sunk into them... and how quickly it can add up. Once you drive it off a lot thats that youll never get that money back.

  • @kazeboy1 ive only put a starter in my 02 civic, only thing thats ever gone wrong. my uncle never had to do anything to it, i got it from him at 58k now i have 93k on it. so not really anything put into it but oil gas and a starter. and i couldnt walk haha. i drive 40 minutes on the interstate to college and work. also no public transportation busses go between cities. but all in all id say this civic was a good investment (even though i hate it cause i want a truck)

  • @kazeboy1 also i beat it to hell, i pull 2 atvs on a trailer behind it all the time, offroad in it, have jumped it (wrecked it offroad into trees and rocks) never wrecked on road. ive pulled 3000 pounds of lumber 300 miles also. all depends on the car haha.

  • @slapoutz Ah I have a 00 civic. awesome car If i would ave left it stock lol. Cars are a great way of instant transportation. Where I was getting at with the bad investment statement was how some people think they're supposed to last for ever. The people who dont keep regular maintenance up on the car, then complain when something catastrophic happens. EX. not changing oil may lead to a blown engine. To those ppl cars are bad investments... I want a truck as well lol

  • @kazeboy1 lmao ya there are some people that think that they can not change the oil and there car will be fine. i firmly believe a car will last as long as you want it to. sure you might have to put money into it, but seriously people are like when this engine blows im gonna get this kind of vehicle... i just think um dude an engine dont blow up if you take care of it. unless its made in china but thats a different story.

  • @bertman668 Just because they find all these issues doesn't mean you have to get them done at that time. Idiot.

  • @XlElementXl no idiot they "find" things wrong with your car or truck to sell you more shit so your $30 trip to your mechanic turns into hundreds. If you dont realize that you are truly ignorant. Thats why shops do free inspections, not to keep you safe, not to warn you of problems that you may or may not have, its to make MONEY

  • @bertman668 in behalf of all the mechanics out there, you are a fucking idiot. This ball joint has quiet a lot of play and chances are if it is not taken care of, that wheel will try to shear off the vehicle, thus causing a potential fatal accident. Ah you know what, you are right... I guess repair shops should stop checking your vehicle, so you come in on a towtruck and we get even more money in repairs! good idea!

  • @sranjesuper I understand his frustration. I do all my car repairs. Some of my family spend thousands for a mechanic to do a sub par job. Most of them are in a hurry so their checks will be larger. A lot of them don't even use torque wrenches when they're supposed to. A shop would charge about 400 dollars to replace both ball joints on a mcpherson strut system. I can do it myself for about 100, and I can make sure it's done right. See too many people gettin ripped off and with rushed work.

  • @wc4pwned if you do your car repairs yourself, then by all means keep on doing it. There is plenty of people who don't such as other guys, most girls, most elderly people etc. Not to mention today's cars are getting more electrical and less diy even some small garages don't have the equipment for high end cars. If your car is diy friendly, then let nothing stop you!

  • @sranjesuper My mother recently went to a dealership for an oil change on her Geo Tracker. The "mechanic" (ASE certified) put her car on a lift not supported by any frame components, but only by the unibody's thin material. The entire unibody bowed to the point she couldn't even close her doors. 45 dollars for an oil change (too much to begin with) only to have your car completely destroyed. The net worth of the vehicle was so little it wasn't even worth totaling or a lawsuit.

  • @wc4pwned Let's not also forget how she paid $30k in VW beetle repairs without my knowledge or consent. Mechanics will pounce on women like no tomorrow. I could completely restore a fleet of VWs myself for less than what she paid for a basic overhaul and misc repairs of one car. It later blew up when the carb spring broke off, leaving the engine at WOT uncontrollably. Another ASE certified mechanic doing what he does best.

  • @wc4pwned and its not the mechanics that pounce on the customer it is the service advisor. The mechanic half the time doesnt even know the customer for this car unless its a frequent customer. The mechanic just finds what he sees and passes that info to the service advisor. Keep in mind, you still can say no to whatever they recommend you, so why be mad when they are just telling you things to look out for.

  • @wc4pwned haha if they bent her vehicle that is pretty uncommon for a "licensed" guy to do that. Maybe for a first timer but even those guys know better. I call BS or he was a firs timer, or he was majorly drunk/drugged

  • @sranjesuper if you read my comment it clearly said "Obviously he needs new ball joints" I wasn't disputing that at all you fucking idiot.

  • @bertman668 your a cock who doesnt know what he's talking about! they only advise you that there are dangerous things wrong with your vehicle and offer to fix them, not force you! sure they sell more shit, but make a living out of saving peoples lives

  • @TG1986IRL REALLY? bullshit, they dont ONLY advise you that there are dangerous things wrong with your vehicle. You dont know what the fuck your talking about dipshit.

    They dont do free inspections to save lives, they dont do it because its the right thing to do, they do it to UPSELL you. and if you think otherwise your just another idiot that believes everything the greasy guy with a wrench says because "he's a mechanic"... and your not so he must be right and I must be wrong.

  • @bertman668 Well i am a mechanic and there was a few times i literally drove customers home myself cuz their car was so unsafe to drive and only when i literally pleaded and told them they had to sign a release to drive away did they let me take them home.... Maybe you should stop thinking you know everything and realize some people out there care, your the guy that says oh yeah surrre then your brakes fail on the way home you crash and kill someone innocent with a better head on their shoulders

  • @Chadb89 your right I am generalizing the issue, you do sound like you know what your talking about. No i dont know everything I know cars, more specifically I know MINE I dont buy something unless I know a lot about it. There are people that dont know shit about cars and thats what mechanics are for, I'm not one of them. If a mech. says theres something wrong with my truck i say ok, drive it home and see for myself 9/10 its either not bad or its something i fix myself... thats me

  • @bertman668 Well i cant knock you for checking into stuff yourself thats always a good thing knowledge is king..it just bothers me that so many people think just because i show them something wrong it means im just trying to get money out of em and they roll their eyes..although im also an EMT so i guess caring about peoples well being is just in my nature. If you got mechanics around you doing that then make it known, most of us are really annoyed that the general consensus is we are all cheats

  • @Chadb89 The thing i seem to notice is that the independent shops that are working out of an old gas station (like my guy) are the ones that are reliable and wont try to screw you. Its the chains like Just Breaks, Tire Kingdom, Tires Plus, etc. are the ones that do inspections to sell you more shit that often times you dont need, which is why I tend to stay away from those type of places. You do have to admit that often a good mechanic is hard to find...

  • @bertman668 In those types of places yeah i cant deny that, i tell people every day try to stay away from the dealership haha, their rates are insane...thats the kind of shop i work at, small and personal many of our customers bring us cookies and treats and stuff and were very close but the first timers still see our free inspections as a search for profit but in truth all it is really is just a check over to make sure the person is safe to roll down the road :)

  • @bertman668 If the car needs the repairs whats the problem?....its a free inspection to let you know, would you rather be rolling down the road one day and your wheel falls the fuck off and then you say i wish someone wouldve told meeee

  • @bertman668 Don't forget national Tire and Battery (NTB). I worked for them for a moth and terminated me becasue I wasn't doing thing the way they wanted and that was to ripe off customers. It's said how people these days want to take advantage of one another. We are to take care and look out for one another with brotherly love as Jesus said to his disicples and for use to follow in His footsteps.

  • hey jeffff what are u lookn it okeyyyyyy annoyng bitch ,,,,,,,,man next time get a sexy voice not annoyng 1 ok jeff

  • you'd be surprised as to how many clueless people there are out there that drive on this

  • waaaaaaaoooow, jaaafff

  • What's SCARY is early 2000 Dodge trucks look like that from the factory and that's "OK".

  • @briansmobile1 Unsafe design, quality issues, bad fuel economy... How do you Americans still buy your own cars?...

  • @ruiferreira89 They're SO FREAK'N SEXY and cheap too. ; ( When will we learn? J/K

  • @briansmobile1 I wouldn't say they're cheap, since the US taxpayer had to pay for Chrysler's failure.

    It would be a nice shake for the big manufacturers in Detroit if you began demanding cars with proper fuel economy so they'd cost less to own and Big Gov started less wars because of oil.

  • @ruiferreira89 I like the way you're thinking! Ron Paul!

  • @briansmobile1 i won't go crazy about anyone in the American elections. Last time, people all over the world thought "America will be different with Obama". What changed? America is still at war, Americans are losing homes and jobs to the guys at Wall Street that are still making great money out of everyone's misery and Big Gov still gets away with that new Enabling Act. There's a change, in freedom amd justice.

  • @ruiferreira89 I saw that coming. Ron Paul's been saying AND voting the same thing in the congress for decades. He walks the walk.

  • @briansmobile1 Hope this time you'll have better luck. People went crazy about Obama's campaign but no one saw the big changes promised, and this new Enabling Act is right out of 1933's world. You do deserve better than what you've had since I can remember. Clinton's affairs, Bush's lies, Palin's ignorance, Obama's promises have all worn down the image of the US in the rest of the world. JFK was probably the only that did want to really change anything, but got shot for it.

  • @ruiferreira89 Holy cow! You're pretty sharp where ever you're from! JFK took on the Federal Reserve Bank that unconstitutionally issues currency at interest. JFK was getting ready to issue money direct from the treasury. He had printed $1 and $5 bills and had plans for $10 and $20. He also was apposed to going to war. LBJ his predecessor rolled over and let the bankers and bombers have the country.

  • @ruiferreira89 Just plain stupid. All the idiots say we went to Iraq for the oil. Well were is the oil??? We are leaving Iraq and we didn't get a drop of cheap oil. But for liberal idiots is not to hard to have their heads up their butts and just ignore the facts. It is possible to make a car that has high mileage. They are being driven in the EU right now. But they pollute like you wouldn't believe. So do you want air you can't breath and a car that gets good mileage.

  • @sanity599 You didn't went there for oil? Then where are the WMD no one found? It is far mor probable you went there because Saddam wanted to sell oil in Euros. Your gain? You still get to sell USD to every country that has to buy oil, except those buyin from Iran. Now tell me how driving a gas-guzzling pick-up with fat tires is less poluting than driving a little diesel with DPF installed. The US produces over 25% of air pollution and didn't even sign Kyoto protocol.

  • @ruiferreira89 We actually found them. We had the mobile factory in a semi that could be used to convert pesticides into nerve gas. We found the pesticide. But all of it had been sold to Iraq by the French and they are part of the UN. So they blocked all further inquiry. I suspect from how you write that you either smoke dope or are from some shithole third world country or both. And remember America invented the internet and gave it to the world. You are using it right now.

  • @sanity599 Evidence of that, got any?

    Did you "find that" while using white phosphorous against human targets?

    The Internet as we know it was actually invented at CERN, in Switzerland, sorry for blowing your bubble, it's not a big deal. We ended slavery in our Empire long before America did. We also led the way in abolishing the death penalty. So much for the "land of the free".

    Get this in your head, war means big money for big people and a bullet in the head for GI Joe.

  • @sanity599 And anyway, being a Third World country means the basic needs of over half the population aren't guaranteed. I'd call a country where you'll go broke if you get sick and the insurance company doesn't want to pay the hospital bill, but that doesn't happen in my country, it happens in yours.

    And no, I don't smoke dope, but I heard Mexicans have sold plenty through your border. Guess you need it to forget every generation of Americans goes to war.

  • @ruiferreira89 You really are an idiot. HTML was invented at cern. The internet was a project funded by DARPA. This was to allow US millitary to have uninterrupted communications in the fact that some shit hole country like yours tryes to attack us. After if was completed we, the US, gave it to the rest of the world. Stupid third world idiot. After hearing from you I think it was a mistake. We should have left you siting in your own shit, in some burned out slum.

  • @sanity599 It isn't my fault if you can't interpret "internet as we know it". Computer networks would hardly expand to a global network with individual users without HTML. It is just the same with Henry Ford and the Model T. Innovation made it useful and afordable.

    Now, I've explained to you what Third World means, guess you didn't pay attention to classes. So for some History, Portugal got its independence in 1143. We had a global empire for 5 centuries. The US did nothing for us.

  • America is the only country in the history of mankind that was attacked and had war declared upon it. That destroyed the countries that attacked and declared war on it. Then rebuilt the countries better then they were before the war and gave them back to the people that attacked us. I am talking about all of europe and japan.

    What has the shithole you live in done? When there is a problem in the world the US gives more then all other countries combined. What does yours give?

  • @sanity599 In fact, right now, friends of mine are fighting alongside US troops in Afghanistan. That is a truly burned out slume, a bit worse than America was when it was discovered. In those days, Native Americans were living in tents while we had castles and palaces. These days, more and more Americans end up living in the streets because they can't pay loans to banks, or health insurance to the insurance companies.

  • @ruiferreira89 I doubt you have any friends. All you do is sit at your computer watch poorn and fuck with people that are WAY better then you. I can tell this because I make a ppost and you have replied before I can get back to my email. What a fucking loser you are. I bet your dick has callouses on it jerk off.

  • @sanity599 I will take note of your ineptitude in formulating actual arguments. Other than that, I recommend you read a book. I'm sure you're only using a fraction of your brainpower and deserve more from life. Have a happy day.

  • @sanity599 In fact, almost all of the admirable and noble things the Founding Fathers did for America and the world in general, were lost. Self governance is now an ideal gladly ignored by an all powerful government, always watching what the respectable American citizen is doing at all times. Also, while most of the developed world decided free healthcare was a human right, American politicians still protect the interest of big companies.

  • @sanity599 in fact, it seems consensus is only reached when personal freedom is to be reduced. The new Enabling Act is a prime example of that. Nowhere in the civilized world can a civilian be detained by the military without charges for indefinite time. Such laws are right out of 1933's Germany or Orwell's 1984. So much for the land of the free. It breaks my heart to see a country founded on such noble and humane principles come to this.

  • @ruiferreira89 Because they are better then yours

  • @sanity599 Wonder why so many Americans buy Japanese or European cars... Might be because their resale price is better, they're more efficient, safer and because you don't have to pay them if they mess-up their business, like Chrysler did.

  • @ruiferreira89 because if we dont buy them no one will.... also because fixing the same exact problem on my ford may cost 1/4 of what is costs to fix it on my sisters nissan, or my moms lexus.

    Also because when you buy something like a Ford, Chevy, Dodge SUV or Truck (used) parts are EVERYWHERE.

    Everyone's entitled to an opinion but I'll still buy American

  • @bertman668 American is only a label now.

    You'll learn this if you take a business course

    A car can be " assembled" here but the parts come from all over.

    just buy why you feel you like,

  • @briansmobile1 There was a Recall on all of those actually. :-)

  • @MrGizmo757 The dealership near me never heard of it. I suggested it should be and had them check.

  • @briansmobile1 Well they didn't look. i am a Master Tech for a Chrysler Dealership. which includes Dodge and Jeep and Plymouth. There is a Recall for the uppers that apply to Dodge Durango Dakota and 1500 Pick ups. form the year 2000 to 03. There is also a Recall on uppers and lower on the jeep Liberty on 02 to 06 models. i worked at a dodge dealership for 7 years. i have done these recalls personally. whoever told you there isn't one lied.

  • @MrGizmo757 The one I was asking about that had such terrible play was a 2004 2500 4X4. I replaced them with MOOG problem solver ball joints.

  • @briansmobile1 and another little hint. if your truck dose not fall under the year build to fall under the recall. you should still try to get parts dept to sell you the recall Kit. Why? its the same Ball joints that are on the Trucks after 03. so if yours is later then 03. if you were to buy the recall kit you Get both ball joints and new Attaching bolts and Dust covers. for the same price as a single replacement ball joint from the normal parts catalog if they will sell it.

  • @briansmobile1 The best option if your going Custom is to Get heavy duty control arms. ever look at your control arms? very very weak for a 2500. Next your upper control arm bushings will ware out. Especially if its a diesel because its so heavy in the front.

  • @MrGizmo757 The new ones are a new boxed in design. That same truck took on four new control arms.

  • @briansmobile1 I haven't owned a vehicle yet that hasn't needed ball joints at least once a year, and I dont drive the shit out of the. Crown Victoria's were the worst, you'd get 6 months out of a top-of the line greasable ball joint. Luckily they were lifetime warranty and i invested in a press to install them.

  • @briansmobile1 no. Dodge TRUCKS didnt have front end problems, the durangos did.

  • @Kawasakiforlife7 Look up Dodge "death wobble" or Rubicon, or wrangler.

  • @Kawasakiforlife7 seriously? Do you know about the death wobble in dodge TRUCKS 1500s, 2500s, 3500s, How about the jeep death wobble?

    These are all chrysler products, what do they have in common?

    A live axle front suspension that chrysler couldn't build worth a shit.

    However fords with live axle front ends have had similar problems, Pretty much

    they may not have front end problems with the 2wds... but who wants a 2wd truck?

  • bitch get in the kitchen!!

  • @jorgeencinascastillo YOU ARE LIKE BORAT

  • seen a lot worse

  • its pretty bad but I've seen a lot worse.. have seen tie rod ends that you can pop off hitting it with your palm lol

  • that bitch is going to be joint with my balls in her mouth if she doesnt shut up. she doesnt know what wind shield washer fluid is let alone a damn ball joint.

  • @TjRDenver

    Typical wiener pounder

  • ball joints are a critical safety component!!

  • His balls look pretty tight.

  • okay mine is nice and tight lol

  • shouldn't she be cooking

  • i've had a wheel come off a vehicle in the oncoming traffic on the highway. charged right at me. luckily it turned away from me. but shit like that happens

  • You have a car lift and all those garage tools in the kitchen?! :O

  • the other side looked like it had a little play.

  • love the all terrains ;)

  • Meh, where's your sense of adventure?

    Another 100000 miles in that bitch fo sure!

  • It said very bad ball joints, but only one was bad.

  • @jjenson2006 there's two ball joints per side

  • @fathan16 They weren't testing or disgussing the uppers.

  • Just had to replace both front uppers and lowers on my '03 liberty (182,000 miles).....I was told that they would've become a danger if I had left them in (the danger being possible wheel separation). This guy is def. being honest.

  • thanks for the update, and it will cost 500$ to replace it :D

    good price for the lady...

  • How do you break a lower balljoint loose? Uppers are easy, but a freaking sledge hammer wouldn't even break my lower one loose.

  • @cashdudehomie Believe it or not, you have to hit it harder if you are using the traditional pickle-fork.

    If you can get a solid support under the control arm near the ball joint (and enough room to swing the hammer), you can run the nut down to protect the threads (maybe even leave an impact socket on there) and hit it from the topside. Watch out for the spring, if any... as it could fly out. (standard disclaimer as I don't know what vehicle you are working on)

  • @cashdudehomie Just hammer on the sides of the knuckle, right around the joint but not ON the joint itself, doesn't take too much to free even the toughest ones. Done hundreds of ball joints and never found an easier or less damaging way to get them to release.

  • THANKS MAN FOR POSTING.

  • okayyyyy =D

  • Thanks for the Update...

  • I am not trying to make fun of anyones bad situation, however when I see a vehicle disabled by a bad ball joint I always laugh! It is just hilarious to see the wheel out of place and the driver staring; in awe!

  • my ball sack is pretty lose

  • @amirla84 Thats what happens when you are an OLD MAN!

  • @amirla84 Your ball-sack is lose?  That sucks.. I'd hate to lose my balls. =(

  • @Travisty9 you shut your whore mouth.

  • @amirla84 that's because you've been fucking fags all day! STFU!

  • @44joints you like saggy balls?

  • @amirla84 ..... You heard what the fuck I said to you!!! Are you really gonna let me talk to you like that??? Is that all you could come up with?

  • @amirla84 said it all!

  • Hey, I think it's cool that a girl works at the shop --- YOU GO GIRL!!!!
