JBUGS's video: JBugs - 1967 VW Beetle - Ball Joint Replacement

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/ This 1967 Beetle belongs to an employee of ours and is driven regularly and as such is prone to common issues that go along with owning a Vintage VW. This time it popped a lower ball joint. We’ve done the repair a few times and while most people don’t have a press in their garage, they do have the tools needed to remove and reinstall the trailing arms. Follow along as we cover the repair.
