• Q: How to Remove a Front Suspension Lower Ball Joint on 2009 Jeep Liberty?

  A: Remove the tire and wheel before proceeding to take out the front suspension lower ball joint. After that, carefully separate the brake caliper and rotor. Subsequently, use special tool 9360 to detach the tie rod from the steering knuckle and also to pull off the upper ball joint from the knuckle, again using the same tool. Then, take special tool 8677 and unhook the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle. As soon as those components are off, take out the steering knuckle. You should add extreme pressure lubrication on the threaded portions of the tools to extend their life and guarantee they function correctly during removal and assembly. Use special tools C-4212F, C-4212-3 and 9654-3 to press the ball joint from the lower control arm.
