I just redid all the bushing and upper and lower ball joints and the front shock insulators. I did it with all polyurethane even the shock insulators. I thought I would show a picture of how I pressed in the lower ball joint. I don't think this is OSHA approved.

 

I'm in Florida and I still think I am not far enough away from that rig.

I do commend your "get it done however you can" ingenuity. I've been there. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

No comment about the improved handling?

 

Hope you were wearing one of these when you pressed that in.


hehe!

 

I cringe when I see XJ front suspension springs being removed with threaded rods but that press setup goes way further up the risk scale - it looks absolutely terrifying!

10 out 10 for invention but I wouldn't waste time applying for a patent.

I think I would've lost my hands and my career attempting that.

 

I just moved 50 feet away from the photo. Sure hope that is far enough....

 

Makes sense to me! Good show!

Nothing to fear but fear itself
- some WackO said that somewhere, lol...

I used a fire hydrant and a 3 1/2 ton jack.
Frozen, went in like BUTTER!

Your perss has now been officially entered to abra as the as the only device to be more deadly than the carona outbreak... But seriously sir you ingenuity has earned a gold star!!
