Ball Joint Question (1 Viewer)

[SHERMAN FJ62]

I have to replace the upper ball joints on my 04 GX 470. I found that MOOG sells one that is greasible. My questions is what kit, cup, do I need to press these in. I have access to a press but I am not sure that we have the right cup to press them and I don't want to tear or damage the balls joints when I press them into the ball joints.

Thanks

I am going to try and use a ball joint press kit from auto zone to see if that will work.

Post up the results once you sort it out.

I think they have a bit of a lip of flat area on the outside to press against, so there should be something suitable in that rental kit to get it done.

The Moog ball joints are better and like that they are greasible. After about 500 miles they seem to be a good replacement. Only issue was when installing a abs sensor line was broken.
