  Q: How to replace the lower ball joint on a with torsion bar suspension on Chevrolet Avalanche 2500?

  A: When installing a new Ball Joint on vehicles with torsion bar suspension start by lifting the car and using jack stands for support. You next need to take off the wheel and tire then detach the lower Control Arm which should be clamp-mounted in a vice. You should use a chisel to remove the 4 locking crimps on the Ball Joint body of a 15 series before putting the part in a press to take out the assembly from the lower Control Arm. After placing the new Ball Joint it should enter its outer position by pushing it in. Reinstall the lower Control Arm into the bench vice. Secure four crimps to the Ball Joint with a punch based on position settings from the replaced Ball Joint of a 15 series. Replace the lower Control Arm before putting back the tire and wheel combination. End by taking off safety stands and lowering the vehicle while testing wheel alignment.
