The upper ball joint is an interesting thing, since it screws into the yoke and then unscrews to press into the axle. The lower one is presses in place but a step shoulder bolt screws into it from below.
I have my new bearings in the yoke and have figured how to adjust the top ball joint, but not sure how the lower bolt goes back in. Sadly I didn't pay attention when it came out. There is a washer with tabs to lock it in once set, but right now it's too loose to do any good.
Anyone seen any videos on this? Or have personal experience? I know I am overlooking something. I could try taking the other one apart, but am pretty ill right now so don't spend much time off the couch. As I mentioned, I did get the new wheel bearings in, that went smooth. I will do the others also, but when I feel better, so I thought I'd use the down time to educate myself.
