Lower Ball Joint Replacement - Ford Transit

In this video I go through how to replace the bottom ball joints on my MK5 Ford Transit - including problems encountered along the way. This process will be very similar for other vehicles so please feel free to use this as a guide for doing it yourself at home, using basic hand tools.

Note: I slightly modified this ball joint splitter to make the jaws wider for the bigger ball joint. This was a quick and simple modification using a grinding disc.
