Hi All,

Both my front bottom ball joints on my 2003 D22 are in desperate need for replacement. The screeching/squeakyiness noise is now proper bad and in need of attention asap. My current freetime to address this problem is almost non existant so I thought I'd call my local Nissan dealer for a price.........ÂŁ1500 was the answer! So that's that option out of the window. I have also called a local garage to quote me a price to do the job, two days later no answer! So i guess that option is also a non starter. It now seems my only option is to get the lead lamps out and get it cracked on my front drive. Before I order the ball joints from Milner I'd like to know if it's possible to get the joints swapped out without having to own any specialist tools?? I have searched through the forum looking for any clues on how to achieve the swap out in a step by step manner but can't find anything. If anyone could please offer any advice/instructions I'd really appreciate it. Many thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Cheers
Jase

Yes, at last the noise has gone!!! It's been the best ÂŁ20 I've spent this year. New bottom ball joint fitted & tested, what a relief. I must recommend a nice long bar to help loosen some very tight nuts, a gas burner to apply some heat, and a ball joint seperator. I'm so chuffed this job is done.
