DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LOWER BALL JOINT

NOTE: If a drive-on hoist is not available, use wooden blocks with jack stands to support the lower control arm in the ball joint area. Place the jack stands appropriately and lower the hoist placing weight on the lower control arm. The lower control arms should now be supporting the vehicle weight.

NOTE: Use care when applying the load to the knuckle, so the parts are not damaged using care not to tear the boot.
