Im about 99.9% sure the ball joints are bad...they are original i believe. Gonna let a mechanic do the work...

I was wondering, how long does this job take?
Also what brand ball joints do you guys recommend? And is there anything else while this is getting done i should consider doing too?

Thanks in advanced!

 

Moog or timken . If theres rivets holding them in they are original

 

yea i heard moog was good. thats what i told my mechanic because i swore he told me before the previous owner had them replaced around 80k, coulve been something else i guess cause he looked at all old bills and couldnt find it this morning.

i assume you replace upper and lower at the same time, now is it recommended to do both driver and passenger at the same time?

 

I'm with him!!!! Use the good stuff the first time....

 

I guess you don't have to replace both sides, but if one side is so bad it needs to be replaced, the other side usually isn't too far behind. I would go ahead and have them all done, while it's at the shop, unless money is an extreme issue.

 

the only reason im eh on it, was i was hoping to trade it in december i need something a little newer and more reliable. but who knows if that will happen lol
