How to change a broken upper ball joint on a 1992 dakota?
The upper part still in the A frame is probably a press in. That means you will need a hydraulic press to remove it. If you don't have a press, the easiest way to remove it is to take the a-frame off and have a repair shop press it out. While you are there, have them install the new joint in the a-frame. To get the bolt out, loosen the nut, and remove it with a ball joint extractor. These come in numerous varieties, so just remember to follow the instructions provided with the tool. If the socket in the a-frame won't come out, pick up an a-frame at a salvage yard.
