Bottom balljoint - 172

[LiamR172]

Hi all.

Im going to change the bottom balljoint today, after a quick search on here it doesnt seem too hard.

Just a quick question though, Do i need to jack both sides up? I read one thread and it said something about the driveshaft popping out if you dont jack both sides up.

I can't say I ever have.

Ok thanks rob, just making sure before i make an arse of it!

Didnt take long at all, alot easier than expected! Didnt have a splitting tool so we used an open ended spanned and prized it out.
