Questions & AnswersHi my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In the following clips, we're going to talk about the correct procedure for replacing your upper and lower ball joints on a two-wheel drive full size vehicle. In this clip, we're going to talk about reinstallation of the vehicle's spindle after your ball joint's serviced. As you can see here we have both our upper ball joint control arm assembly and our lower ball joint installed. What we're going to do is begin reassembling our front end components. We have our spindle here; we're going to seat that on the lower ball joint. You don't want to bang it around a whole bunch, you may damage the threads. You just want to get it just into the hole and raise up our control arm align it into its hole as well. From there we're going to wiggle it up until it's in place. We're going to take out mounting nuts and screw them down where they go. Just run them down hand tight. And that is the proper way to reinstall your vehicle's spindle. As far as the heavy front end work goes, we have that accomplished.
