The automobile—a machine that means so much to so many—is a complex system built on the designs and ideas of men and women who are long gone from the world. And while we’ve enjoyed traveling the backroads of childhood, the streets of adolescence, and the highways of adulthood, the car has remained a reliable means of transportation as well as a vehicle that embodies the hopes and dreams of reaching exciting new destinations or returning home.

In this free video series our expert, Nathan McCullough, will walk you through every step of changing a worn ball joint yourself on your car. Why go to a mechanic and pay huge amounts of money for something you can do yourself? Use these videos as a guide as you remove the brakes and the caliper and reach the ball joint.
