To replace the ball joints on a 1987 F250 4x4, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel. Next, disconnect the brake caliper and rotor, then remove the tie rod end and lower control arm. Use a ball joint press to remove the old ball joints from the control arm and install the new ones. Finally, reassemble all components, ensuring everything is torqued to specification, and repeat on the other side if necessary.

F250 super duty ball joint replacement?

Ball joints can be a very time consuming affair, but is a required maintenance item for most trucks. The first step is usually removing the steering knuckle. This process is different for various vehicles. To do this you must remove the wheel. Remove the outer tie rod for the steering. Detach brake caliper from knuckle, and set aside. Remove brake rotor. Remove the ball joint retaining nuts. remove or disconnect the axle if 4wd is applicable. Remove the steering knuckle. On most fords the upper ball joint is replaced as one piece with the upper control arm mounted on the frame by two bolts. This may be different on the larger trucks. The lower ball joint should be pressed out and in with a ball joint press (Which can be very expensive.) When finished with ball joints an alignment is needed on many vehicles. That is just a real quick list of things to do on most ball joint jobs. I hope it is helpful.


How do you remove the front cv joint on a 1999 jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo?

Instead of giving step by step instructions on removal of the CV Joint which is something that is beyond my capabilities I'll tell you what I did. The rubber boot surrounding the CV Joint on my 95 GC Ltd with 5.2L engine was ripped badly and I took it in to be serviced at my trusted mechanic. The Napa parts guy that he buys from told him that Chrysler now installs universal joints instead of replacing the CV Joint (apparently the boot and joint are not sold as separate parts). I had this done and my vehicle has been running just fine. I'm sure that a replacement CV Joint is available but I know that the U Joint was a less expensive option. I hope to hear more from other contributors as time goes on about this. You might call a dealer and ask them their opinion as well. Good luck on this !!
