Review on SUBARU 20206AJ000 Genuine OEM Factory Original Ball Joint Only - Pinless Solution for Enhanced Performance by James Yarbrough

The originals lasted at least 150,000 so why not use the same ones? I reused my nut and installed new cotter pins. Installation/removal tips. First I removed the pinch bolt, then I used a very long pry bar to remove the ball joint from the knuckle. I then used a cucumber fork borrowed from AutoZone (Alltrade 648630 Kit 56 Tie Rod Separator and Ball Joint Tool Kit) and a 6-pound sledgehammer to remove the ball joint from the control arm. The service manual recommends removing the stabilizer bar bracket to allow the control arm to drop lower. I swapped out the racks anyway so I had enough freedom to just swap them out.
