away from the control arm once installed. Start the sealing boot over the sides of the ball joint by hand.
8. Position the Installer (1), Special Tool 6758, over the sealing boot outer diameter as shown.
9. By hand, apply pressure to the top of the Installer until the seal boot is pressed squarely down against the top surface of lower control arm (3).

11. If not already installed, install a standard zirc-type grease fitting in ball joint.
CAUTION: It is important to lubricate the ball joint before installation of the knuckle to allow proper venting when the seal is filled. If
the ball joint is lubricated after installation to the knuckle, damage to the seal can occur.
12. Using a hand-operated pump grease gun, fill the ball joint seal boot with Mopar(R) Multi-Mileage Lube or equivalent until grease pushes out past
the ball joint stem. Wipe off any overfill.
13. Remove the standard zirc-type grease fitting and reinstall the headless grease fitting from the original ball joint to prevent future lubricating. See
the above Caution. Be sure to properly clean headless grease fitting prior to installation.
