    I don't remember anyone having ball joint problems before. Prolly why no one has responded. Don't forget to get an alignment done after the repair.

    On the other hand, how many owners have had their ball joints go out???

    You'll probably have to point him to a supplier if you know of any.

    If you are replacing all four (2 uppers, 2 lowers) or want to keep the extra parts and just change the broken ones, it's a great deal. If you really only need one or two, you could also post up the rest on here.
