Q: How to replace the lower control arm ball joint on 4WD and 2WD Z71 on GMC Canyon?
A: You must take off the Steering Knuckle before addressing the lower Control Arm Ball Joint on z71 models with 4wd and 2wd. You should now remove both bolts and balls from the Ball Joint on the lower Control Arm and discard them. Disconnect the Ball Joint from the lower Control Arm part. Fasten the new Ball Joint to its position on the upper Control Arm using correct installation methods outlined in the fastener notice. Apply new Ball Joint fasteners onto the bottom Control Arm section before tightening them to 47 lb-ft at 64 n.m. Put back the Steering Knuckle and check wheel alignment against defined specifications.
Q: How to replace the lower ball joint on GMC Yukon?
A: Start by raising the vehicle and taking off the wheel and tire to access the lower Ball Joint. To enter the pinch bolt area you must first take off the bolt and nut that keep the bracket in place. Afterward detach the snap ring from the Ball Joint stud. Separate the lower Ball Joint from its position on the Steering Knuckle by taking out its bolts first then releasing the bottom ball retention bolt. You can now take out the lower Ball Joint from the vehicle after these steps. Put the lower Ball Joint back into the vehicle before installing the bolts to attach it onto the Steering Knuckle at 110nm (81ftlbs) torque setting. Secure the lower Ball Joint pinch bolt with torque level at 230 nm (169 ft. Lbs.). Apply the lower Ball Joint snap ring first and after placing on the lower Ball Joint insert bolt and nut to anchor the bracket to the axle unit while clamping them to 25 nm torque (18 ft. Lbs.). Put back the tire and wheel then lower the vehicle before aligning all four wheels.
Q: How to replace the lower control arm ball joint on cast iron lower control arms on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: When replacing the Ball Joint on cast iron lower control arms start by lifting the vehicle and supporting it. Remove the tire and wheel to proceed. Turn off the lower Control Arm to remove it from the vehicle. Secure your Control Arm in the vise and apply a chisel to remove securing crimps from the Ball Joint body when they exist. A press tool will pry the Ball Joint off from the lower Control Arm. Install the new flange piece first by pressing it into the Ball Joint. Afterwards put the lower Control Arm into a bench vise for holding it in place. When needed apply the punch to put in crimps to the joint span while you use the retired joint as your benchmark. Position the lower Control Arm together with its wheel assembly back into the vehicle. End by taking away the safety stand while lowering the vehicle into position and checking wheel alignment.
