I havnt done this yet, but this seems like it would be a great help to someone looking to do it. 25 min video!

YouTube - ‪How To Replace Worn Ball Joints Ford F250 Truck‬‏

 

I'm in rep jail.... someone hit him up for me, would ya?

Awesome Find Trey! You gonna post it up on the .Org? If you don't, let me know, i think we should get that "sticky'd!"

 

I'll go and post it there too. I'm not planning on doing the ball joins on mine for a while, but I watched all 25 mins for kicks and giggles anyway haha

 

Well, to be honest, I don't need them yet, but the key is YET.

Where I plow, I will wear the front end A LOT, and I'm sure I will need new ones in a year or 2. I already need to remove the hubs since they are frozen, (The work, but I cant turn them.) and I'm not looking forward to that, lol.

Thats one of the "side effects" i have found with being a Ford owner.... better "support groups." I woulda thought with all the Dodge problems the dodge forums would be more active.... heh... nope, I could never find crap on them.

Might actually get the X-Code springs on this week tho, and get a little more lift (from the taller/stronger springs) in the front end! I gotta pull the wheels off anyway to rotate them, planning on doing the shaft splines too, and removing the calipers and cleaning/lubing the slide pins. Maybe I'll finally get the oil pan cleaned/painted too.

Thinking about cutting down the Stock Springs and making a 2-leaf mini-pack to boost the front end totally leveling it. Just need to cut the Leafs and grind them so they are even and pick up a longer center-bolt. Hmm...

So much to do, so little time/money to do it!

 

We have a huge thread on replacing the ball joints complete with pictures, and step-by-step instructions.

Videos are somewhat hard to follow when your hands are dirty, you're sweating like a pig, and you've run out of beer

 

I prefer videos. Pictures don't tell the whole story... I like to actually see how stuff works.

 

Ditto! I can not only see the before and after, but the in between.
