from the A-arm.

pressed out of the A-arm without damaging the A-
arm.
Installation

installation. Face the A-arm end flat on top of the driver.
Carefully drive the ball joint into place until the ball joint
is properly seated.
2. After the new ball joint is installed into the A-arm, install
a NEW retaining ring.
3. Reinstall the A-arm (see “FRONT A-ARMS - Removal /
Replacement”).
4. Repeat the ball joint service procedure for any additional
A-arm ball joint replacements.
