Im literally trying to figure out whats wrong with my car and I think its the ball joint and the bearing. Im not sure but the steering wheel wiggles when I drive and it feel like the front driver side wheel wobbles when I drive as well as making loud scrapping noise that sound like mechanisims scrapping past each other. Its a similar sound to a bad bearing sound but worse like theres a machanisim there but its not clicking

Chris, I love that you have gained so much confidence over the years. Not that you weren't confident in your older videos; it's just that now you have more assertion in your voice and have developed an amazing online presence. I'm proud to be a follower.

These are all great ways to check for a ball joint but there are some exceptions with the up and down prybar test. On my 13 ram 2500 the balljoints have up and down play out of the box and they even say that.

Hey Chris, you ever worry about absorbing chemicals through your hands! Sometimes I see you wearing gloves and other times you are not and your hands are in contact with oil and grease. Just saying

Mine are leaking grease but I just keep adding grease every oil change. The master tech at my shop says as long as there's no play in them they are fine as long as I keep greasing them.

Hey chrisfix my 2006 Kia Sedona is making a horrible noise when I turn, its a loud creaking noise. I was told it was the half shafts but after replacing them the noise is still there

You should always go with OEM not those splined moog joints. Once you use that which eat up the socket you press them in you can no longer ever go back to smooth ball joints

What could cause a ball joint to complete wear, even worse than this after 12 months and 8, 000 miles? Assuming the stealership didnt take my grandma for a ride.

Im going to give you a How To on Fast Orange for your hands, and then give you a sample pair of Raven latex gloves. Good brand ball joints btw, Moog. The best.
