How to inspect and service the ball joints on 2004 Chevrolet S10?

Service the ball joints under stable conditions on a flat surface by positioning the vehicle correctly without rocking on stands and keeping the upper Control Arm Bumper away from the frame. Put the vehicle in an elevated position and set a floor stand below the stabilizer bar bracket to hold the lower Control Arm. Test and replace the Ball Joint when you find damage on its seal surface. To check the Wheel Bearing health you need to examine its freedom of movement and take appropriate diagnostic steps if it is loose. Examine for Ball Joint horizontal looseness by placing the j 8001 dial indicator (J 8001) on the lowest part of the wheel rim and rocking the wheel left and right until the gauge shows no more than 0.080 inch movement. When fixing the lower Control Arm on rwd vehicles look for poor condition by taking the safety stand out and comparing the lower Ball Joint housing to the cover on a healthy joint since there should be 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) extension. When the housing sits level with the surface or worse replace the lower Ball Joint. Put the j 8001 dial indicator (J 8001) on the Spindle and check vertical movement when prying between the Control Arm and outer race of the 4wd lower Ball Joint; replace the joint if the indicator shows more than 0.125 inch vertical clearance. When the lower Ball Joint shows good specs you should test the upper Ball Joint by disconnecting it to check for looseness and replace if needed.
