Steering Knuckle/LCA replacement

lgibson · Jun 28, 2024

I have all the fasteners loose as well as the ball joints. Sort of in a quandry over the best procedure. Where would you begin? I am aware of the challenge r&ring the LCA ball joint in the knuckle. Perhaps it is best to remove the knuckle first, then the LCA?
Any advice appreciated.

Check out the thread in the link below. It even has a nice video showing replacement of the UCA+LCA.

Thanks for that excellent video. Is there anything similiar for the steering knuckle replacement? And would you do the knuckle first or the LCA? The upper control arm is not being removed.

You'd have to thank who posted the video in that thread.
I did not look for a steering knuckle video or info on it.
