Everyone posts about how tight the upper ball joints are.. Has anyone tried a big impact? I can hold the control arm in one hand & impact the joint out with the impact wrench held in my other hand... It's not the raw torque it's the way the torque is applied.. The hammering effect of the impact makes all the differance...



I've heard a big impact works great. I just don't have one that big. With the control arms still installed on the car (and the car on sturdy jack stands) a breaker bar and pipe works fine.
