Parts:
2" PVC Schedule 40
2" PVC Cap
10x1.25 50mm Bolt
To insure the ball joints are aligned correctly, place the ball joints into the knuckle, use the 10x1.25 bolts to align the bolt joint with the thread holes in the knuckle. I left the plastic boot protection on when I place the PVC installation tool over the ball joint and hammered away. You have about 3-4 minutes while the ball joint is coldest.
Some Hints Replacing Ball Joint:
* I find it easiest to remove the knuckle, versus prying the control arm. I've done it with the ratchet strap method, so much harder. Specially if your control arms are new.
* With the knuckle removed, using a cheap Harbor Freight air hammer makes removing the old ball joint a breeze
