Review on πŸ”§ Heavy-Duty Ball Joint Press & U Joint Removal Tool Kit with 4x4 Adapters for Enhanced Compatibility, Catering to 2WD and 4WD Cars and Light Trucks (BL) by Seann Barnes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality, disposable item.

The product arrived very quickly which is great. Unfortunately I had several problems. First, only the overall design leaves something to be desired. To press out the ball joint, the screw goes up. So unless you have a very large wheel arch, you're going to have problems. Second, it doesn't come with pressure-side shims. The instructions clearly state not to use impact so I grabbed a half inch head and as I pushed out the top ball joint the c-clip started to flex with just the ball joint. half came out. I was afraid it would break so I removed the kit and used a sled to completely remove the U-joint. As you can see in the picture, I'm working on the lower ball joint and the flex is already very noticeable. The quality is so poor that if I'm lucky enough to get all four ball joints out I'll probably have to throw them away. I prefer to borrow the tool from the local auto parts store. For reference, this is a Dana 44 front axle.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to say
