To replace the front lower ball joints, you simply remove the caliper, un bolt the strut from the ball joint, and then press it in and out, right? If I am thinking correctly the spring doesn't have to be touched... because I removed the upper part of the strut and the control arm hung down a bit and didn't effect the spring, so if i un bolt the strut at the bottom it should again not effect the spring...

Hey George,


As GT_Bob had mentioned, a bad ball joint could seriously affect your camber settings.. It could also mess up a lot of stuff too..


Were you able to adjust your camber out until it didn't rub?? I know it's hot, but if you can, try to adjust it out, and see if it does anything. If you can, also while the car is up on a jack, have someone turn the wheel and watch the other balljoints. I had an issue on a front Control arm that cascaded into the lower lateral ball joint and destroyed the control arm. This wasn't on my Mustang, but it can still fail suddenly..


Could be a good time to upgrade to the Steeda ball joints..
