Best Answer

The ball joints on a 97 Ford Thunderbird are replaced by placing the vehicle on jack stands, removing front wheel and rotor, and unbolting the steering knuckle. A ball joint puller is then used to remove the ball joint and a special installer tool is used to press the new one into place.
