I would like to replace these two ball joints and was able to find the part number for the blue one (JLM21380). Does anyone know the part number for the red one?
I 've read multiple members replaced their ball joints (red), but I only found a whole arm assembly (#6 in the diagram), not the ball joint part number.




Thanks in advance.

 

Lower balljoint is MNC1350AA. PITA to replace, but it can be done.

 

This thread my give you the answers.

Thank, I appreciate it.

 

Now, I need to figure out how to press in the ball joint. Looks quite difficult.

 

20ton hydraulic press, a 4x4 under the tapered edge of the control arm and patience

 

I found this thread and now understand what you meant.

Great info! Thanks!

 

I did mine at home and had to get rather creative. I do have a press but the "fixtures" were the difficult part to come up with. TM

 

Does it have to be 20 ton? Harbor Freight has a 12 ton press, which I'm considering to buy.
Thanks!

 

I tried a 10ton at the base hobby shop and had no luck, so opted for the harbor Freight 20ton. It could have very easily been operator error - don't know but it is a pain in the ****!!!

 

IIRC it took around 8 tons to get them fully home, but ymmv.

Put the joints in the freezer for a day or so beforehand, and anything you can do to heat the control arm end will do no harm, either.

Good luck!

 

Mine is a 12 ton harbor Freight special and worked fine. It's the fixturing that need to be right. I wish I had bought the 20 ton only because it's wider and allows bigger things to fit in it.
Again, ymmv, TM
