The design has barely changed because it does not need to: thread the housing in like a nut and bolt, use a chromoly stud, and make the whole assembly serviceable so a worn joint gets rebuilt rather than binned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep Your Pioneer 700 Working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm which position you are replacing — the Pioneer takes different uppers and lowers, and a full front end means two of each. If the boots are torn but the joints are sound, the Keller boot replacement kit is the cheaper fix. If the joints are worn but the housings are good, the Keller rebuild kit for Honda services them. Tie rods and A-arm bushings are worth inspecting while everything is apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Video\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOfficial SuperATV installation walkthrough with Todd Keller: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mbt4iX4DWRA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHow To Install Keller Ball Joints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why do Pioneer 700 ball joints pull out of the A-arm?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The factory joint is retained by a snap ring seated in a groove.
