Replaceable Ball Joints
BACKGROUND
A replaceable ball joint is now available that allows you to replace only the ball joint and not the entire knuckle assembly. This part is for one-time
replacements only.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the base of the existing ball joint before beginning repair work. If the ball joint is not stamped with the letter "B", then you can replace only the
ball joint. If the letter "B" is stamped on the base, disregard this service bulletin and replace the entire knuckle assembly.
