Review on Orion Motor Tech Heavy Joint by Los Bizness

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not work as advertised although does not fit Dana 44 Top

I bought this to service my 1/2 ton Dodge 4x4 Dana 44 ball joints, it works to remove them and install the bottom ones but doesn't have the right parts to fit the top ball joints install, the tool is not extended far enough to allow the nozzles included in the kit to fit without modification. I had to cut the smallest shot cup in half with a cutter wheel to make it shorter to fit the top balls. This will also make you lose the cup needed for the bottom balls, so you had to make another bottom ball first and then change the tool , which is useless now, it won't work anymore. It's very frustrating to buy an item that clearly states it will work with Dana 44 Dodge front axles and hadn't had a modified tool that doesn't work unless I can find a new cup for it as it's for lowering and Removing all ball joints was needed. Did the job 1 time for $50, had to borrow a version from local parts store and eventually got my money back.

Pros

Cons
