Description
QT1241 Upper Ball Joint Installation Receiver for 2005-Current Ford F450, F550 is 1-piece, CNC machined, Upper Ball Joint Installation Receiver Tool made from a USA produced, high strength, solid steel billet, specifically for 2005-current Ford F450, F550 chassis cab trucks and 2008-2010 F450 Super Duty pickups with Dana Super 60 Front axles.

Safety Note
Using any type of press can be dangerous due to the forces applied to both the tools and parts. Always wear eye protection. Most workplace safety has to do with having some mechanical experience and plain common sense. If you do not know how to safely work on your vehicle, have the work performed by a professional automotive technician!
