How to service and repair the lower ball joint in the front suspension on Ford Expedition?

The front suspension wheel knuckle needs to be taken off as the first step when servicing or repairing the lower ball joint. The next step requires discarding the lower ball joint snap ring. A technician should use the C-Frame and Screw Installer/Remover together with the Ball Joint Remover for extracting the lower ball joint. The ball joint boot should remain undamaged throughout installation by preventing its contact with the C-Frame and Screw Installer/Remover and Ball Joint Installer/Remover because any boot damage could reduce the ball joint lifespan. After installing the ball joint snap ring in its proper position people should install the lower ball joint using the same tools mentioned before. Finally, reinstall the wheel knuckle.

Ball Joint in Ford Expedition is used in suspension and steering systems to connect the control arms to the steering knuckles so that they can rotate freely in two planes but cannot translate. A ball joint is usually constructed out of steel and always incorporates a bearing stud and socket that is covered with a rubber - like boot with the purpose of shielding the joint from the influence of dirt. There are two common classifications of ball joints; loaded ball joints are involved in carrying some weight while the unloaded ball joints are only used to maintain the alignment of some part without having to bear some weight. It is required that worn ball joints be replaced because of the noise produced, irregular treading of the tires and problems with the car's steering system. Performance ball joints which are stronger than regular joints include the premium feature and the ability to adjust to altered suspension geometry. On balance, ball joints are significant sub-assemblies of automobiles that determine vehicle stability, handling, and tire durability.
