I did all four ball joints, repack the bearings and new seals too today. What a pain. But I did do the second side in less than half the time. What fun. Now to check and see if I need a steering box.

The one you see in my avatar is one that Rock auto sent me, right out of the box that what I see. Also both missing snap rings. Glad I checked them before I went to do them. Back to buying local.

 

I had a popping sound in the front end and got a new set of ball joints under warranty. It didn't fix the problem so I guess I really didn't need them, but I got a front end alignment too, which was needed.

 

When does it make the noise?

 

During turns. The problem was loose chassis to body bolts (up at the radiator).

 

Ah, a slightly used part.

 

Make me not wanna order from them anymore. I started checking Advance online and the run a lot of 15% off sales with free shipping >$75. I spent almost $400 between two vehicles a couple weeks ago with Advance.
