I need to change the upper ball joint(front) on my is200
and have seen some on e-bay.
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...d=p5197.c0.m619

But i cannot see how you remove the old ball joint and replace it with the new one.
Has anyone done this before so i know what to do
Any help greatfully accepted

I thought the upper suspension arm with the ball joint was a complete assembly. It might be possible to replace the balljoint in the arm but I suspect you will need a hydraulic press in order to install it.
Someone on here might know different though.

by the looks of the kit you'd remove the circlip and it should come out.

remove the arm then remove the circlip then if you can get to a vice open the jaws slightly wider than the ball joint place the arm on top and give a good smack with a hammer job done and same to put back in,or take the arm to a garage and ask them to press it out and press the new one in
