How change a ball joint on a ford crwon victoria?

You didn't state the year of Crown Victoria. But, on '92 to 2002 model years, you need to remove the brake caliper %26amp; brake rotor. You will also need to remove the backing plate by drilling out the three rivets that secure them to the steering knuckle. Undo the large nut that holds the ball joint to the steering knuckle. DO NOT REMOVE the nut. Leave it on the ball joint for the first four threads. Use a pickle fork and separate the two. Once separated, use a ball joint/u-joint remover/installer to change the ball joint(s). You can purchase the ball joints from the Ford dealer for VERY cheap. The part number is F8AZ-3050-AA for no more than $50.00. The kit includes TWO ball joints, the nuts, six rivets (three per side), and removal/installation instructions. Good Luck. Hope this helps.

The ball joints are part of the control arms. If purchasing factory parts, the entire control arm will need to be replaced with the ball joint.

If your not sure how,do not try it on your own.

You will need an experianced person to help you...Find an experianced person and then go from there.
is it the lower or upper?if its the lower then its pressed in so what you have to do is put a jack under the a-frame and take off the nut and take a big hammer and pound it out and then tie the rotor and caliper out of the way,then clean out the hole.do you know the best way to put a lower ball joint in?when you buy the ball joint,put it in the freezer for about 1 day,then when you get ready to put it in ,it will just slide into the hole,cause when steel gets cold it shrinks and expands when warm.hope this helps you.the upper 1 just drill out the rivets and replace them with bolts.
