almost perfect, does work,

Excellent quality. Great application instructions included. Bought this kit to change the joints on an 01 dodge cummins 4x4 2500. worked well until I tried to push out the lower joints. The receiver cup is not quite right. it will push the joint out just not as slick as it would if the cup was right. It is about 1/16" to big. I recommend that you apply anti-seize to the new joint. When pressing it in, if it becomes cocked, push it back out and start over. don't try to force it.The listing picture does not do justice to the size of the kit. It's a big kit and heavy. don't waste your money on a harbor freight press, like i did. the cheap Chinese press will bend while the joint laughs at you. Also if you get frustrated and decide to use yer oxy/fuel torch to heat things up and drive it out with a hammer, DON'T DO IT! Ball joint will explode about the time it starts to turn red. Ask me how I know. Damage to my shop floor proves it!If you have never taken the knuckle apart on the dodge 4x4, read on. some special tools are needed. 12 point 1/2 drive socket set. when you get to the unit bearing is when things get tough. it has 4 retaining bolts, remove 2 on opposite corners. back the other 2 out about 3/8". use a socket and extention between the bolt head and the end of the axle tube. turn the knuckle so that the socket extension combo is held in place between the bolt head and axle tube. start the engine, turn the steering till you feel the wheel pop. you have just pushed the unit bearing assembly about a 1/16". move the socket/extension to the other bolt, start and turn. repeat till the unit bearing is free of the knuckle. Be ever so careful removing the axle shafts. mess up the seal and the differential has to be removed from the housing to replace the seals.
