#32680, "RE: Lower arm ball joint (straight arm)" In response to In response to 2
Originally posted by 96rs-t Not the fork bolt, that one I took off easily. I'm referring to the lateral arm. The one before the fork bolt. It comes up vertically from the ball joint to the wheel hub assembly.
So... the ball joint itself?
I have not had this problem on my 2GNT, but on the Trailblazer it was frozen and the seperating fork didn't do anything. I used a bunch of PB Blaster on it, and with the nut partially threaded on so that you don't mushroom the threads, tap down on that... worked on the TB.
No, this is probably not the right way to do this. I have done this successfully, but an alignment was done immediately after replacement.
