Ok so im trying to install a camber kit and I need to pop the upper ball joint from
the upper control arm.

How do I do that? Can I use a regular ball joint separator (pickle fork)?

 

isn't that what a ball joint seperator is for?

Usually the upper ball joint is a LOT easier to pop off then the lower, so not much pressure should have to be used, just be carefull not to tear the rubber as usual.

 

why would I care if im replacing it?

anyways does the ball joint come up through the upper control arm or does it come down?

 

oposite the side that the castle nut is on if memory serves.

 

if you are using the ball joint replacement camber kit here's what I did.


Banged the **** out of the upper ball joints with a hammer and use some sort of wedge to remove it the rest of the way.

 

Grab up your 2 pound hammer, loosen the joint stud nut, but don't remove it.
Then smack the point where the ball joint stud passes thru the top of the knuckle; quit swinging like a girl and HIT it. LOL After it pops loose you can take the nut off.
You left the nut on there to protect the threads in case you missed with the hammer, Good move

 

is that with the knuckle of the uca or still on?

Pics would be great.
