Ball Joint Failure Due to Improper Installation

PROBLEM : Improper installation alignment can lead to early component failure Press-in ball joints on some late-model vehicles are now designed with an elliptical stud opening. Failure to properly align the ball joint in the control arm during installation could result in loss of vehicle control due to ball joint failure. If an elliptical joint is pressed into the control arm without regard to orientation, it is possible that normal vertical suspension movement will cause the ball joint stud to contact the housing, resulting in stud and/or housing failure. Elliptical openings are not visible on ball joints with preinstalled boots.
SOLUTION : MOOG® ball joints feature special installation aids Always look at press-in ball joints for alignment marks such as drilled holes,

Chrysler Magnum, Charger, 300C, SRT-8 Anti-roll Bar Set Installation

1) Secure the rear wheels with blocks and jack the front up. Support the front of the vehicle with jack stands on the frame. Observe the stock sway bar orientation and position for reference.
Note: If you are using a 4 post lift or alignment rack, you do not have to jack the front up.
2) Remove the heat shields that cover the subframe mounts using a 10mm wrench or socket.
3) Remove the subframe mounts by unbolting 2 bolts per mount using a 15mm socket. The Sway bar should be hanging by it’s endlinks at this point. Retain all hardware and brackets for reinstallation.
