If you even took just one second to read the "stickys" in this section, you would have noticed that the very first sticky on the list is for balljoint replacement.

Theres also a search feature, right on the top bar... and that will also reveal many helpful threads.

It was more temporary than I wanted.
I am actually throwing in the towel and buying my own business instead. Bad economic climate to do it, but what the heck, I have plenty of time to give it.

Almost in the same boat been out going on 2 years and 4 surgeries (shattered left arm not the fall its the sudden stop that gets you every time) no job to go back to. What your new buisness?

Going to go to the PM's. Really don't think this conversation applies to balljoints and tierods. LOL
