What ball joint tool is everyone using for UCA replacement?

RVA Ram · Apr 6, 2017

Hey Guys,

I recently installed the Fox 2.0's on front and rear and replaced the stock UCA's with the Zone UCA. It was a PITA to get the old UCA to release from the spindle. I bought a tool from autozone that barely fit. I'm wondering what tool is the correct tool for this?

A rubber mallet and a 2x4 block of wood

This ^^^. The manual says specifically not to hit it with a hammer but I've always done it that way and never had any issues. There is a special tool that you can get from Chrysler but the rubber mallet method is tried and true lol.

Heavy hammer with a wood block. You dont hit the arm directly you use the wood to absorb most of the blow. Works pretty easy, give it a good whack itll fall.

Don't you hit the part on the spindle where the UCA ball joint goes into with a sledge hammer? The shock of the blow is suppose to free the ball joint.

I have your exact setup. I have just blown a front coil at 130,000 miles on them. I love the setup and may upgrade to the 2.5 coilover. You can see my review of them in another post in Lifted.
