these ball joints require a ball joint press loosen axle nut then remove wheels, front brake caliper and mount. now there are 3 bolts that hold the wheel bearing hub assembly on remove if has ABS then remove wiring harness with hub (you have to hammer free) once off then side axle shaft out hole. remove both nuts that hold ball joints to steering knuckle and differential install press and remove and install then reassemble NOTE rent a ball joint press or buy a cheap one from harbor freight.
Cv joints in your intrepid? Remove the tire, unbolt the lower ball-joint, Remove the hub nut, pull outer joint from wheel bearing, pull shaft from transmission.
If it is the tipical cvshaft you must replace the whole shaft if you have the old style straight axle you have to take the four wheel assembly apart remove the rotor assembly this means that in some Dodges you have to have the bearing unpressed and a new bearing installed when you change the universal joint in the wheel shaft good luck these are tuff to do
you need to check your front axle shafts for worn out c-v or u-joints, if the outer c-v boots are torn open you need new c-v shafts,if the u-joints are loose, they need to be replaced
They pull right out when you get the knuckle off. Hardest part is getting there. Be sure to test the ball joints before you remove the tires. You may need some replaced.
can it not be done without removing the hub ?? dont think you can get hub off without removing the track control ball joint?do you have the right tools??
Not hard, you'll need a special socket to get the axle nut off and getting the bearing out of the spindle is usually a real chore. Since it sounds like the spindle is already out, you might be able to do it in a press.
To get the ball joints out of the spindle, drive them out with a hammer. If you need to get the ball joint out of the axle, strike the axle next to where the ball joint taper is with a large hammer. That will usually distort the axle material enough (for a split second) to let the tappered section loose.
