Well after my 1600 mile road trip I believe my lower ball joints have had it. Squeaking sound coming from front end when turning or bouncing front end. A hollow clunk sound is heard wheneve I hit a pothole as well. While I change these, and hopefully these are what to be changed I need to change my right outer cv boot. Does anyone manufacturer a split boot? I hope so. And if not are boot easy to change with moderate mechanical knowledge and tools......My front suspension is starting to dissapoint me.....
 






Comon Ya'll spread your knowledge....
 






You do not want to use a "split boot". They are fine on VW's, but I have never seen one worth a crap on anything else. Changing the boot isn't that hard. Get a repair manual and have at it.
