how about a b.j.? I mean balljoint...

Whats up peoples,
I'm heading off to the shop today to get new upper ball joints installed...OUCH ...If you don't know, these things have to be bought with new upper control arms. $118 per side. On top of that, labor (because they have to do alignment anyway) and then of course the alignment. Total, $400. For 2 FrIcKiN' balljoints man. But that's not the worst part. My girlfriends going around saying I'm getting new BALLS!!! Anyway, this post is to let all you fellas to take care of your BALLS, they aren't cheap to replace. Lube frequently, stroke gently, and inspect frequently, HAHA. Have a good one. Anyone want to contribute to the "Get Kenny New Balls Fund"?

..not cheap to replace, but definitely easy ;) as long as you leave out the alignment..hehe.

I take great care not to ruin the darn things.. I knew that picklefork would come in handy...

ihaveanSTD: I bet you will caress and love this set of balls a lot better huh? Hopefully you wont have to wrench on them at all.

well, your correct. I will carress these balls gently. It's nothing other than age that made them go bad this time though. I just started driving the car about 3 weeks ago. I'm just getting it back to the way it should be by doing all the maintenance I can to preserve this little "shoebox."

u can buy new balljoints without buying the whole control arm, you just need to buy the connecting rods that they are attached to.

..the upper arms werent designed w/ replaceable ball joints...only the lower bj's can be pressed out...
