Ball joints
Quick story on my ball joints
April of last year I bought axle joints for my truck. Came home to put them in couldn't get the rotors off. Tried every trick every mechanic told me, and they weren't coming off. Called the 4wheel drive shop in town "ooh yea, we can do that for you, couple hours labor, bring it in tomorrow" Well they couldn't, they had to torch my good ball joints to get the rotors on a press and push them off. My ball joints in April of 02 cost 217. 87 apiece, and I think he had to buy them from a dealer. My axle joints ended up costing me 958. 58, plus I bought the joints! That took a while to get over.
