  Q: How to replace the lower control arm ball joint on Chevrolet Traverse?

  A: When changing the Ball Joint of the lower Control Arm you must first remove the complete assembly. Secure the lower Control Arm inside a vise for further work. Start the drill using a center punch before drilling or grinding off the rivet's head. You should use a punch with hammer to detach the lower Control Arm rivets prior to separating them from the assembly. Proceed by removing the Ball Joint from your lower Control Arm assembly. During installation keep holding the bolt while tightening the nut to achieve the correct torque value when setting the Ball Joint onto the lower Control Arm. After positioning the Ball Joint mounting hardware secure its nuts and bolts until they reach 68 nm (50 lb ft) scale. When you finish working with the vise remove the complete lower Control Arm assembly then reinstall the entire lower Control Arm unit. All vehicle front end alignments must be checked during this stage of the project.
