HOW EASY IS IT TO DO THE BOTTOM BALL JOINT'S ON A 2000 GALANT AND DO YOU NEED A PASS

This is an easy repair in theory for the home mechanic. But you need that big 36 mm Socket and I recommend an air impact gun to remove that. Also you have to get that bottom ball joint off disconnected, which again is easy for someone who has done it a few times. It may challenge someone without any patience. The axle shaft doesn't need to be removed, just cut the boot off the joint and then remove the "C" clip that holds the axle to the joint. About a 2 hour job

If you want to take the easy route use the dorman-control-arm- 520-344. It cost about as twice as much as a ball joint by itself but you will not need any special tools to replace. If you just do the ball joint by itself you will need a ball joint tool to press the old one out and the new one in. Some parts store do offer free tool borrowing programs so its you call

OK< ball joints, they are sometimes bolted on, I hope yours is, you have to get in there to see, But you will also need the parts first, when you buy the ball joint, you will know what you got, either welded to the arm or bolted, then you can take off the arm or the ball joint. Either way, it should be no problem getting the thing off, get the car up, wheel off, don't get your legs under there, get dirty, and you might need another bottle jack to lift up the arm to get the bolts on. Check it out. Hope this helps.

Requires 2 jacks, 1 under ball joint suspension, remove wheel. Remove ball joint nut, using a pickle fork tool separate wheel spindle from ball joint. With second jack carefully raise vehicle. Press out ball joint with tool and press in new and install in reverse instruction order.

no tricks only work,but its easy as 123, you need to carefully jack the car up and put a stand under the car for support, take off the big nut in the center of the rotor, then remove the rotor, then remove the 2 bolts and nuts that is supporting the shock, then pull the knuckle forward, then remove the lower ball joint bolt and nut, you might have to pry the knuckle open at the bottom to take off the knuckle from the lower ball joint, then pull the knuckle upwards, after that pull the cv joint axle outwards, you might need to pry the drive shaft from the transmission, drive shaft is the same as the cv joint shaft

if your not an eperence mechanic the best and easy way is to change the whole bottom arm this is alittle more money but alot quicker and easyer for a non mechanic. first you will need to remove the ball joint from the hub the best way to do this is with forse and a hammer . Then you will need to remove the 2 botls that holed the arm to the subframe then the arm should drop out you may need to help it with a hammer lol. And just reverse what you did to fit the new arm making sure to fit the ball joint back into the hub last .

Is the ball joint the one on the bottom widhbone if yes then have you got the old one out,, if yes then what you do is if wishbone still on car Jack up wish bone and place ball joint in hole ,,lay wishbone on block of wood and it must sit on ball joint then get tube to go over b/joint and hit the tube which is on the w/bone hit down forcing ball joint in (hithard)

Lower Ball Joint Inspection

1. Before servicing the vehicle refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Prior to carrying out any inspection of the ball joints inspect the wheel bearing.
4. Have an assistant pull inward and outward on the top and the bottom tire. Mount a suitable dial indicator and measure the movement between the ball joint and the lower arm. If the movement is at or exceeds 0.03 in. (0.75 mm) install a new ball joint.

Removal & Installation To Remove:

2. Remove the knuckle from the front suspension.
3. Remove the snap ring from the ball joint.

According to the chilton manual you have to: remove the speed sensor,caliper and brake pads,brake rotor from hub assembly, disconnect the upper ball joint from steering knuckle & pull the knuckle outward. From the back of the knuckle remove the four bolts and then remove the hub and bearing assembly from the knuckle

Most likely a broken bottom ball joint, a very easy repair but I am sure a very frightening experience.
I hope you or who ever was in the car are OK.
