Haynes repair manual says to have a shop do it for me and Autozones's on-line repair guide says it's not replacable, but they sell the ball joint. My daughter drives my grandson around in this car and is flat broke. I need to save money but don't want to put anyones life at risk.Lower Ball on 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis, can I replace it myself?
If you have never done a ball joint replacement, now is not the time to do it yourself. A mechanic should be able to replace @ 1 hour of labor. You should also have a front end align done when replacing front end parts.Lower Ball on 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis, can I replace it myself?
About the only suspension part(s) the DIY mechanic can do are the tie rod ends (even that requires a front end alignment).
No, ball joints are out of the question, there exists a lot of pressure and you could seriously injure or kill yourself.Lower Ball on 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis, can I replace it myself?
Have a pro do it. You are dealing with pressed in parts and a tremendous amount of spring tension. If you do it yourself the life at risk would be yours.
