Polaris Ranger 800 Popping and Sqeeking Noise in Front End Suspension: How to check Ball Joints

So you're Polaris Ranger is well broke in and while trail riding you begin hearing the popping, squeaking and just irritating noise coming from the front end. Recently we replaced all four ball joints on a Ranger 800 Crew, uppers and lower ball-joints.  To check your ball-joints raise the front end of the Ranger with a jack.  With the pressure no off all the joints you can simply grab the tire and check for movement.  This video demonstrates how to check the ball-joints on a Polaris Ranger.  We were able to successfully change all the joints with basic tools that included: hammer, socket, snap ring pliers, hand held MAP gas torch and a lot of banging around.
