Gang…

Just bought GS4, and all those threads about ball joint are scaring me… I am going to replace them all for a peace of mine. Don't ask for pictures yet.

I will be doing all baseline on all fluid, and converting to synthetic...

Ball joint, and maybe brake. Question for all of the expert here… I want to save labor, so what other things I should replace while doing lower ball joint?

…. 98 with about 70K miles...

Control arm bushing?
Steering brushing?
Outer tie-rods?
Brake parts?
Wheel bearing?

I am also thinking of buying Daizen Steering Rack Bushing Kit

This kit is a great upgrade for the money. You can get them locally at Exact Motorsports. They are a CL sponsor if you look for their ad banner, plus they have the steering bushings and Daizen control arm bushings in stock.

At 70k, you might as well change all your bushings while you have the suspension apart.

Make sure to check our NorCal forum for local activities.

Please excuse my question, but when did Exact Motorsports get the control arm bushings in stock because both Sewell and TM engineering claim that they are on national back order. I have been waiting for mine for over two months now..

I called them just now to confirm. They have had the steering rack bushings and control arm bushings in stock for a long time. If they have to re-order I'm sure they will have the same problem as all the other dealers. I know they will sell out FAAAAAAST now because of this post.

Good Luck.
