Welcome! And watch out for shops because they will try and get you. I replaced my entire front end on my old blazer and brought it to the shop for an alignment. I didnt tell them i did anything to it to see what they say. They told me the same thing that i need new ball joints and pitman arm in which case i proceeded to raise hell,

Thans for the welcome.

Haha. Some shops for are thieves. For mechanical stuff I bring it to my GF's house. Her dad owns his own shop and I know I won't get screwed. But he charges me like any other shop...and I'm a broke college kid. So I try to save money when I can.

And pics coming on monday. Nothing special as I just got it.

I think to save you the trouble find a cheaper mechanic and have them do it,ball joints can be very dangerous,I found out the hard way,luckily i was going into a stop when mine gave way,Drama!

Welcome! I think all that conversation should be moved to the correct section of the forum. But all very good input.
