here it is
-- Remove old joints
1. Unbolt spindles from ball joints. Leave tie-rods attached.
2. Remove C-clips using removal tool, or needle nose pliers. Remove ball joints from A-Arm.
-- Install new joints
1. Remove the nut from the top of the ball joint, remove the top silver bushing.
2. Insert the top of the joint into the A-Arm hole. The golden bushing should now be located inside of the A-Arm hole and the bottom silver bushing supporting the A-Arm flange from below.
3. Replace the upper silver washer and nut to the ball joint assembly. Do not tighten yet.
4. Find the round tick mark on the ball joint body. Face the tick mark forward, pointing away from the rest of the buggy. Tighten the nut now.
5. Repeat for each joint.
6. Bolt spindles to the ball joints.
Note: The mounting flanges of the spindles must be positioned below the flanges of the A-Arms.
Note: Sometimes joints will come with two tick marks, one on both sides of the joint. Either tick mark facing the front is fine.
