If this ball joint has already been replaced a number of times, the material of the control arm will be stretched after pressing the ball joint in and out so many times. As a result, you cannot safely install and fixate the ball joint. Fixate a press ball joint after several replacements When this is the case and the control arm has been stretched too much by multiple replacements of the ball joint, you are almost forced to order a new control arm completely. But if the control arm is still in good condition, this is unnecessary. What not to do when replacing a press ball joint Replacing only the ball joint and welding it, for instance, is certainly not an option. This will melt the dust cover and plastic insert, causing the part to break completely. Some separate ball joints are available on the aftermarket, that, however, do not lead to a fully secured installation. In situations like these, safety cannot be guaranteed and this should always be avoided. More info about replacement of a press ball joint Sidem’s solution: unique ball joint with patented design Sidem has developed a unique and patented solution that provides an answer to this problem. It is a ball joint that guarantees maximum fixation. The ball joint is designed in such way that the part locks itself when you press it into the control arm. The ball joint has a wide collar on the outside. As soon as the collar comes over the edge of the wishbone, the ball joint will lock itself. You can compare it to how a barb functions. The part is pressed in easily, but it piece cannot return. The ball joint is fully secured in the control arm. In other words, you can use Sidem’s solution to easily and safely replace the ball joint in the control arm.
