ok major problems... i sent my ex in for service.. needed a new battery which took care of my starting problems..they tell me i need new upper ball joints....around 500 dollars to do...plus the clicking noise from the front end is something wrong in the transfer case.. they say that there is a leak in one of the seals in the transfer case....they said that the click could be internal pump or something and they are gonna have to take the transfer case out which is another 500....on top of that they said my rear torsion bar mounts are bent....i told them that it wasnt that important...anyone have any suggestions on wether this is normal wear on tear for an ex with 98 thousand miles help me thanx.. oh by the way its gotta be fixed or travel worthy by this friday because i gotta get home...!!
 






The prices are high, but within reason. As for the noise, have them show you how they determined it was comming from the t-case. A seal leaking wouldn't cause the pump to fail, unless the case has been run dry or very low. As for the toraion bar mounts, again I'd have them show you exactly what they mean when they say they are "bent." Unless you have hit something or your X has been wrecked I see no reason why the mounts would bend. If the shop refuses to show and explain to you exactly what is wrong, take it somewhere else.
