How 2 change ball-joints on ford 350 econoline?

HI


This is really not a job for a novice. Are you sure it got ball-joints or is it the Twin I beam? The Twin I beam has king pins not ball-joints..but onward


1) coil spring compressor tool


2) ball-joint removal tool


3) floor jack


4) Various sockets and dikes (side cutters)


jack up front end use Spring compressor and take the tension off the A-arms.


Remove the cotter pins


remove the nut.


use ball-joint removal tool on lower ball replace with new ball-joint tighten


use ball-joint removal tool on upper ball replace with new ball-joint tighten


remove spring compressor


done


good luck


tim|||The previous answerer has told you how to change ball joints but do you have ball joints on your Econoline? If it is 1992 or newer you do have ball joints but if it is 1991 or earlier you have kingpins. All Econolines from 1968 to the present have a twin i-beam front suspension and from 1968 thru 1991 the i-beam axles, upper control arms %26amp; spindles are connected by kingpins but from 1992 to the present they are connected with ball joints. So if your Econoline is 1991 or earlier you might want to ask how to change kingpins.
