Gday everyone!
Yesterday I had a ‘proud Dad’ moment when I dropped my Daughter and her date off at the ‘walk-in’ for her final school year ball. They had the choice of a Kombi, old VW Beetle, Dodge Ram, new Mustang, convertible Mercedes, old Monaro etc, but they asked if they could be dropped...
First off not my first replacement of a ball joint. Dad’s 05 4runner said he had some play in the front end. Truck has 400k I do all the work on it. I have replaced the ball joints a few times upper and lowers. He brings it over with some upper BJ’s I order him awhile back. I determined the...
I have a set of 555 upper and lower ball joints that were purchased by mistake. They are still in the boxes in bags. The lowers have Beck and Arnley boxes, but are 555 joints. $100 plus shipping.
I need to replace (or have replaced) the Main Valve to the house. The Main Gate Valve that's there won't close completely and the Curb shut off is frozen. Makes doing any kind of mild plumbing repair in the house lots 'o fun ... After I get DWP to replace the Curb Cock, I will tackle the...
Trying to install the new 555 ball joint for LCA, and then realized one on the left seemed having less grease than the other one at right. Is that a concern?
If to add more grease what grease should I use? I happen to have the Calcium Sulfonate Complex NLGI 2 grease which looks like in the...
45.00 shipped.
Used it on my FJ Cruiser but will not work on my truck. Not enough distances from the hole and the ball. Not sure what else it would fit.
Hi, quick question to see if anyone else has experienced this. Will start by saying our 2001 build incorporated a large number of Slee products and I’m a big fan of the company, so this a very part-specific and not about Slee overall in any way. I have reached out to them on this but haven’t...
First time trying to press ball joints (and 1st time doing a lift install this weekend). Was getting some pre-work in, attempting to press 555 ball joints I got from @cruiseroutfitters because my dobinsons were only available without ball joints or with moog’s from Exit Offroad.
I have a...
Heard a jingle by my front driver’s side wheel and looked under to find that my ball joint has a loose C-Clip that I’m fairly certain in causing the jungle. See attached photo.
Couple of questions:
-Is this safe to drive on, even on some light off road trails?
-Do I need to replace the ball...
Upper ball joint boots were shot (314K miles) and I bought the kit at the Toyota dealer ($15 list price, each) and installed it while replacing the CV axle. Very straightforward, but the new 'clip' included with the kit (the slinky-like boot retainer) is mild steel, and very flimsy and instantly...
Definite play 6-12, but harder to tell if there is any 3-9, mainly because there's also a bit of slop in the steering? Not a lot, and I think that's normal, because it was the same on the driver side, but I have no idea.
So if it was mainly along the vertical, would that mean LBJ? I'm planning...
Ive read a couple threads where there was discussion about some fitting and some not fitting.
Any pointers on what to look for one or even a link would be great. I am replacing ball joints this weekend and taking the whole knuckle assembly off. I have to reboot the CVs and figured it made...
I find myself in a bit of a pickle and am looking for advice. I know these topics have been beat to death, but I cant seem to figure out what I'm looking for.
My '06 with 138k miles needs new brakes as the pads have worn pretty thin. It also needs new lower ball joint dust boots (ball joints...
Hey everyone.
I've read through several threads on lower ball joint replacement, and it looks like I will be replacing at least one of mine in the near future. In the meantime I had some specific questions I'd appreciate feedback on:
Lower ball joint, 140,000 miles on the rig.
No play...
Does anyone know the size/diameter of the (3) ball bearings that are used in the base of the side view mirrors?
Mine came apart while driving and all (3) ball bearings went with it. I want to avoid taking apart my passenger side mirror to find out what size they are.
If anyone knows the size...
Hi There
Started hearing a squeaking noise....
Noticed the ball joint is worn.
See pics.
I am assuming due to milage and a lot of potholes we have here.
Can the ball joint be bought alone ?
Was looking on e bay could not find the correct one....
Pls advise.
