Hi All,

Was just giving my Disco 2 the once over & have noticed some play in the bottom balljoints.
Have priced up new ones at around £9.00 each didn't think it would be much of a job to change them!!!!! Then I had a read at the Haynes Manual!!!!!!! Landrover Special Tools required?????????

I have a well equipped toolbox with balljoint splitters etc has anyone on here got any advice on tackling these balljoints, ie I see I need to replace the driveshaft oil seal, am I better to replace the top balljoint at the same time? Is there anything else I should tackle while I am in there?

Thanks for your help

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, did you also replace the upper ball joint when you were in doing the lower one?

Thanks again

yes did both and used genuine land rover parts so should be good for another 125,000 miles
