Default Changed my ball joint. Made a video

I was changing my ball joints the last weekend. Figured I would make a video to try and motivate everyone still running the old aluminum to swap to steel. Lets all hope to see no ball joint issues this year.

I used the ball joints in the Rennlist link below. Thank you elgy
$160 to my door for 2 ball joints. Eccentrics cost extra.

Just hoping to give motivation to the remaining aluminum ball joint owners.

Wife did all the recording and editing. She seems to be good at what she does. I think it gives her a reason to come in the garage.

Thanks for putting this video together. Great work!

Did you buy the ball joint removal tool, or did you borrow it from your local auto parts store?
