hey guys, i took the axle, it was a pita, but it came out easily finally lol.

anyways, yeah i see my ball joint popped out. you can see the ball out of the coupling or whatever you may call it.

i need to know, how to put it back together with the lower control arm? it's seperated right now, and im trying to figure out how does it stay in there? i removed the dust cover off of it just so i have more room to work with or whatever, but there's a nut on top of the ball joint part, what does that nut do?

and im trying to figure how does that ball stay in that area it's suppose to stay in and not pop out again like it did. i know it's probably not pressed in there, but what actually connects that part (ball joint) to the lower arm?

please let me know asap guys, trying to get this done soon, i know you probably have to put the new axle then lower the car and put the cars weight on the joint so it can lock it maybe? well that's what i figured, but i need info asap, thanks guys!

You cant fix it, you'll have to replace it. Better to have it happen now then on the road. ;-)

i can't fix it? is that a fact, cause i need real answers right now cause im working on it this weekend. i ordered an axle, but is that recall thing from 2 years ago still work this year? i hope so.

please let me know, thanks. how much do those usually run for anyways?

Yes, the recall is good this year too. I had mine done about 4 months ago.

the units are like 35$ from fenton dodge the whole control arm dont sweat it
