2004 - 2006 T1N Sprinter Lower Ball Joint R&R
After browsing the internet and SprinterSource I had a bit of anxiety going into this job. I hate doing front suspension maintenance. It is always more difficult than I want it to be and incredibly dirt to boot. This write-up is a synthesis of several other videos/write-ups I found. I set aside four hours to do one side and was able to do both sides in a little less than two hours. I will say the way I did this procedure is rather "fast and dirty". I think if I had all the time and tools in the world I could make this job feel a lot less like I was just cutting things and hitting them with a hammer....but I don't. I will say that if I did have more money than time I would consider replacing the entire a-arm assembly. I have done that for one my shops delivery Sprinters and its so easy, but prices of the a-arms have risen considerably recently. Finally, if you question your ability to do any of this then phone a friend or pay someone who you know can...
