2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Ball joint press adaptor for a 1999 2wd 2500

[aarlucas]

Does anybody know what size ball joint press adaptor I need for a 1999 2wd 2500 truck? The ball joint numbers are Moog K7269 & K7206T. I have the new ball joints but not the press. I want to make sure I get the right adaptors before I get started, if you know what I mean!



Thanks!

Hi Aarlucas; Good luck getting the uppers to stay in. Mine were in for about 4 miles before they both popped out. You get a good press fit on a new arm & on mine, no 2nd chance. I'll probably have to replce my control arms. I pressed them in with an OTC press bought off Ebay for about $85. 00 delivered, this was new. You can try pressing them in with red Locktite, maybe you will luck out. This is another of DC's good ideas to save a few manufacturing dollars. The alignment shop said DC had no problems with the earlier screw in joints. 1999 no mods, 2wheel, auto, 135,000 Randy
