Orion Motor Tech Ball Joint Press Kit, 21-Piece Master Ball Joint Removal Tool with C-Frame, Heavy-Duty Brake Anchor Pin U Joint Ball Joint Press Tool for 2WD and 4WD Cars

I changed every single ball joint and bushing on my jeep with this kit. Was it the strongest and most capable kit ever? No. BUT for the price did it get the job done? Yes. Did I abuse the absolute bejesus out of it? Also yes. Torches, sledge hammers, ratchets, the entire clamp itself which is very thick metal even distorted at one point because I was asking far too much of this kit. But it didn't break. It just kept on going. I hate looking at this box because it brings me back to three straight days of absolute war with my suspension. But. I cannot say anything bad about these. They didn't let me down once. Buy it. Make it work. Do what you have to do and have faith that this chineseium rig will hold strong when you have 1500 psi of force waiting to explode off at your face.

Heavy

Very useful has all you possibly need. The Material on the C clamp seems quite sturdy but the other parts are alot softer and easy to deform. Good for personal use get the job done.

Great kit for a great price. I was able to replace all my ball joints and u-joints with ease of removal and installation. Very durable product and easy to use.

So clearly this thing isn't as robust as a Snap-On - but it also costs a fifth of the price. For the average guy who does a ball joint once or twice a year, this should be more than adequate, I believe. It comes with a good assortment of parts and pieces and an application guide that helps take the guesswork out of which ones to use (which I've shown to be accurate in two instances). The main clamp isn't bulletproof, but it's good enough to get it done. I'd be sure to use plenty of lube on the threads and at the various contact points, and the instructions explicitly state to not use an impact gun - so I haven't tried it. It only takes 30 seconds to wind in a ball joint manually anyway, so who cares? If the metallurgy on the 'C' itself was a little more robust I'd have given it five stars, but even so, I think it's well worth the money and likely to hold up for years.

Some reviews show mushroomed cups and bent clamps, but I'm not sure how they managed that. Maybe components were so rusted that they were never going to come apart again? Or maybe they were trying to use the wrong parts for the vehicle? I don't know. I used this set to redo the ball joints on my wife's ZJ Grand Cherokee, and will probably have to use it on my daughter's as well. Everything worked as expected, and the cost of the tool was less than half of what paying a shop to do one side would have run me.

Orion makes a good product, as good of quality as my old OTC kit it replaced, if I have any complaints it’s with the case, it came with a dent in one of the corners but that probably happened in shipping!

Back story, 2013 Jeep Wrangler, resides in a dry climate, owned since new, stock vehicle. Like other reviews stated the booklet wasn't for the product that was purchased. So a bit of a slow start but was able to push out both upper ball joints fairly quick once I watched a YouTube video to see which components to use. Moved to the lower two and that is when it all went bad. Didn't just pop out like the top two after tightening the c-clamp. Sprayed both with pentraiting oil, let them soak a bit while I went back to YouTube to see other ideas on stuck ball joints and finally broke them free. However, the c-clamp wasn't able to hold up to the torque and bent while removing them. This was after 5+ hours of trying to work them free, just the bottom 2. With the bent c-clamp, could not install any of them straight! So I ended up driving the hour to town to rent one from the local retail chain of auto part stores. Was able to finish the project, 2 days later and then returned the kit to the auto parts store. If I knew this would have happened, I would have borrowed the kit in the first place and saved myself the $ for a kit that is now useless and the additional delay in completing the project. Thought it was a good idea to have the kit around just incase I need to replace ball joints again on another vehicle. Might be a fine kit to replace ball joints on a newer vehicle. If the c-clamp was replaced I would give a higher rating knowing the kit could be used again but I won't spend any more money on this companies proelducts. See bent c-clamp on top and straight one on the bottom.

Ca a l'air de très bonne qualité et très bien organisé.

El producto se ve de buena calidad pero tuve que pedir la devolución porque no es compatible con el tipo de rótulas que trabajo, las medidas del kit son mas grandes e incompatibles con mis necesidades, por eso hice la devolución y solicite mi reembolso, el empaque llego dañado (como se puede ver en las fotos) pero supongo que ese fue el transportista, si tuviera el kit las medidas que necesito me hubiera quedado con él.

Funkar toppen! Fick ut pressad spindelled på en MB E200. Känns redig.

Fantastic, Easy to use, Made Changing my ball joints Easy, I also used it to change the bushes on the lower arms that had the ball joint on, I am well impressed, a bit pricey but most of the money repaid on the work it's done so far and 2 more cars I look after it will have paid for itself when I do those - when needed.
