Hey guys,


Looking to replace the LF upper and lower ball joints on my 05 G35 Coupe.


Am I right in thinking that by replacing the upper control arm and spindle/knuckle that the ball joints will in turn be replaced as well?


Please advise! Don't want to rent a ball joint press tool, etc.

 

The front lower ball joint absolutely requires a press, the front upper is attached to the upper a arm and requires replacing the whole arm. Might as well just go and replace the whole upper arm at that point.

 

There's technically 3 ball joints. The upper control arm and the compression rod, both require replacing the whole arm. The third is the main one in the spindle. Not worth replacing the spindle for that one, going to need to borrow the ball joint press tools.

 

That Kingpin ball joint isn't so bad/at least the part is less than $65 on both sides
