This video shows you how to install new front lower ball joints from TRQ on your 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.

This repair was done on a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4.0L Sport Utility 2-Door 4WD Manual and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
