| A friend of mines lower balljoints have play in them, he wont be off work til 1am and were riding in the morning so not enough time to replace them. How long will they hold after they get play in them if you ride easy? Hate to get him up there and it break one. Front wheel isn't flopping around or anything but it does have very noticeble play when its jacked up.
Also is there an easy way to change them without a press? | |

| it takes longer to get the wheel off than to change a ball joint. put new one in the freezer for a few hrs before you change them. take pinch bolt OUT of spindle. tap a arm down. remove snap ring from balljoint tap out with a socket that is close to same size.tap new frozen balljoint in. | |
