MrMasman Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Got an MB2 fastback, D14Z4 These ball joints don't look like they come out without being blocked by the body of the steering knuckles. Anybody dealt with this before?? All the videos I've seen show a lot more clearance than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dave Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Not done these myself as usually get a garage to do them for me using a press. Think you're right though, looking at the pics deffo can't see how it's going to clear it enough to get it out. @KiNK43 might know as he replaced all the suspension on his turbo's VTiS?

0 Rainy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 You can just pry it out with a flat screwdriver, its just bearing cover and yes you will need press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rainy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Oh and make sure to measure diameter in knuckle after removing ball joint. In my country they sell like 3 types (38mm,40mm...etc. ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KiNK43 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Dont need press for the balljoints. Id recommend a good quality replacement. Oem or hardrace etc. Especially as they have the circlip retainer for what good it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
