Q: How to replace the upper control arm ball joint on a 2WD (Z85, ZQ8) on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: When replacing the upper Control Arm Ball Joint on 2wd z85 and zq8 vehicles start by lifting and supporting the vehicle followed by tire and wheel removal. Place the lower Control Arm onto a suitable stand and separate the front brake hose from the upper Control Arm area. First take off the wheel speed sensor bracket bolt before disconnecting the wheel speed sensor brackets. Use tool j-42188-b to disconnect the Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle and remove the upper Ball Joint nut. Afterward pull the Ball Joint out of the upper Control Arm by removing the joint nuts and bolts. Insert the new Ball Joint into the Control Arm top slot then install factory bolts. Thread on the bolts first then twist nuts until you reach 16 nm torque value. Secure the Ball Joint to the Steering Knuckle by adding a replacement nut at the upper joint and torque it to 100 nm (74 lb ft). Secure the wheel speed sensor brackets and fasten the wheel speed sensor bracket bolt to 20 nm (15 lb ft). Fix the brake hose connection at the upper Control Arm then disconnect the lower support and put back the wheel assembly properly. Lower the vehicle and check if the wheels are aligned correctly in their final position.
Q: How to replace the upper ball joint on Chevrolet S10?
A: Secure a vehicle lift and safety stands underneath in preparation for replacing the upper Ball Joint. Take off the Torsion Bar and disconnect the wheel speed sensor wiring harness bracket and brake hose bracket by removing their mounting bolt and nut from the upper Control Arm. Take the brackets away from the upper Control Arm and remove the cotter pin before the retaining nut at the Ball Joint. With a pry bar under the Control Arm push up then a helper hits the knuckle stud near the Ball Joint to loosen it. Support the upper Control Arm and Steering Knuckle with a block to keep them aside when you take the upper Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle before suspending the Steering Knuckle to prevent Brake Line damage. Pozisyon the upper Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle by drilling 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) holes into rivet heads then removing them with a pin punch and upper Ball Joint. Insert the new upper Ball Joint onto the upper Control Arm and tighten retaining bolts and nuts to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.). Thread in the upper Ball Joint to the Steering Knuckle and bolt it with a retaining nut until it reaches 83 nm (61 ft lbs.), making sure the Ball Joint stays aligned for the cotter pin without going beyond the one sixth turn limit. Install a fresh cotter pin into the Ball Joint stud system and form both ends to engage with the nut facility. Reattach the wheel speed sensor wiring harness and brake hose bracket to their positions on the Control Arm using the mounting bolt and nut which needs 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque. Put the Torsion Bar back in place, mount the tire and wheel, lower the vehicle, then inspect the steering wheel alignment.
Q: How to replace the lower ball joint on Chevrolet Tahoe?
A: Begin replacement of the lower Ball Joint by lifting the vehicle and taking off the tire and wheel first. Take out bolt and nut that holds the bracket then reach the pinch bolt using this access point. Press off the metal ring around the Ball Joint stud. Starting at the lower Ball Joint take off its bolts that fasten the part to the Steering Knuckle then unscrew the pinch bolt holding it in place. Set the new lower Ball Joint inside the Steering Knuckle and bolt it tight at 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.). Put on the lower Ball Joint pinch bolt first then torque it to 230 nm (169 ft. Lbs.). After that install the snap ring onto the lower Ball Joint. Attach the bolt and nut portions back to the axle bracket and torque them to 18 ft. Lbs. (25 Nm). Reinsert the tire and wheel onto your car before lowering the vehicle so a four-wheel alignment can be performed.
