Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 7865: Ball Joint Service Tool + 4WD Adapters by Brandon Teitel

NOT FOR JEEP OR DANA AXLE

This product works on Wrangler JK (Dana 30) trucks the same as a butter knife as a defensive weapon. Almost all of the adapters in this kit are too wide or too tall to remove or install even factory ball joints. I had to cut the bolts to be able to remove the factory ball joints. Even if you managed to put together a working set of adapters, C isn't big enough to hold the system. You need the XL version to get it right. The fact that they specifically mention Dana in the description is pathetic and a lie. I would not recommend this for solid axle ball joint work, only for IFS trucks or cars. Yes, you CAN eventually make it work, but even that inexpensive amount of work required to make it usable is absurd! All the Jeep/Dana boys, do yourself a favor and get an XL block from someone who doesn't lie. and "OTC Jeep/Dodge" adapter and that was it. Also, when installing Teraflex HD ball joints, make sure you have a 1 1/4" deep and at least 2.5" deep bushing to mount the floor (a 2" HF impact bushing will hardly work or a 1" wide adapter). .5" or the infamous beveled adapter)
