Re: MOOG balljoint install?

well you pounded the old one old right with a jack under the control arm. Well to put it back in raise the car up remove the jack stand and put it under the ball joint. Then just lower the car untill the balljoint pushes in. OH yeah dont forget the boot may need to go on after you install the balljoint. that is the easiest wayif you ask me.

Well, I tried jacking the balljoint up in there and after the control arm maxed out, the whole car just started going up. I have heard that the MOOG balljoints are more difficult to install than other balljoints.
