  • lower ball joint help

    My ball joint popped yesterday. Now the joint was stuck in the lca. I managed to pop it out of the lca. But the top half is stuck in the knuckle. I tried hammering it out & nth. Also broke my c clamp. Any ideas on how to get it out without a press. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    My axle also broke at the boot & i can't get it outta the shaft. Tried prying it. Hammering the pry bar & nth
    Really need to fix today I work at 5am tomorrow

          There's a clip that holds the ball joint in the knuckle you have to remove it first before hammering it out

                Wasn't aware that it needed to be replaced. I just did it last may & yesterday it decided to go again & take the axle with it lol

                    That's why I'm glad I have both under warranty
