09 xtx lower ball joints

[drunkenrich]

Hey guys
Did the a arm bushing last year with the copper ones and wanted to see how they holded up so i put the front end on the jack tonight, bushings are good but noticed a good amount of play in my lower ball joints. Was 09 nytros covered in the recall of these? If so, is it to late to bring it to the dealer. If it is, then what kit do you guys recommend?

If you're hanging onto the sled it's a perfect time to replace the garbage OEM front end. Mountaintech 43" Kit!!

$800 not including shipping, wow, id rther buy ammo for duck hunting season but thanks

 

[Mountaintech]

Best priced kit out there. Would you rather pay up to $1150?

 

[drunkenrich]

Id rather do none of the above

Haha don't forget shock spherical joint mod too.....It is a very good price for that product. $800 is cheap

If your replacing the balljoints, replace with stock units. Not sure about the recall, have to check with your dealer on that one. Have you checked your spindle bushings, that is another area for wear. UP bushman kits are prob the best for replacement.

Don't think those will fit stock a arms

 

[drunkenrich]

So just go with oem ones then? How hard is the swap? Thank you

 

[sorenson1610]

Yes go with stockers, they are pressed into the arm and held with a c-clip. Be easier with the arms off the sled but can do it on the sled. No problem

 

[drunkenrich]

Press them in with a vice?

 

[sorenson1610]

There is a actual tool to press them in, ur dealer might have it. But yes a vice and socket will work just fine.

NCI used to make a lower oilite kit for the bottom ball joints not sure if they still do.

 

[sorenson1610]

They don't make them any longer and they didn't last very long either. Better luck with the stock ones.

Anyone know the cheapest oem website for the balljoints?
