lower ball joint question

[harry81]

I just changed the lower ball joint on the drivers side of my 93 about two months ago. Now every time i hit a bump i have some type of rattling i checked it out and i can't find where it is coming from. Has anyone else had this problems after changing a ball joint?

Is everything tight if you jack up the suspension and try to wiggle the tire around? Maybe it's the upper ball joint? I don't see why you would do only one after all that disassembly to get to it.

yes everything is tight. I only did one cause by the time the part came in my tags were going to expire the next day and i failed vehicle inspection just for that one lower ball joint.

your bushings on your sway bar might be shot. Did you put new ones on when you did it there only 25 bucks at napa

actually i didn't even think about changing those out. as far as napa is concerned they don't have a store over here in Germany. I get all my parts from auto zone cause they don't charge for shipping to military apo boxes.
