I was looking at my upper balljoints and it looks like there are studs without nuts holding them in, how would you replace them? How do you know there bad?
Thanks
thosestuds are actually rivets john. replaement ball jointscome with bolts, grind off the head, punch out the rivet and bolt the new ones in.
Upper Ball Joints rarely go bad, depending on the miles, I've seen the originals last well over a 150,000 miles. Check and see it there is any play in them, if there still tight I wouldn't replace them.
That's what I thought thanks guy's.
