I noticed that as i drive over bumps my front suspension creaks, now it also does that when i turn the wheels while in park. I have seen the pictures of people who have lost their lower ball joint and dont want that to happen to me so i am going to replace them. My question is what are the best joints to buy, i really dont want to buy the factory ones again because as we all know they give out (in my case after 8 years/79k miles) thanks guys

 

Ball joints are maintenance parts anyways so either way you're going to have to replace it down the line. I plan on changing mine out every 80k miles. Currently I'd only trust OEM balljoints. Plus the price difference isn't that dramatic ($30-40 a pair?).

 

Order the balljoints from Sewell lexus.. There a Vender on here.. 128.00 for a safe piece of mind..

 

Henry you going the AIR route..

 

go with OEM parts

 

+1 on OEM.

 

OEM for sure they arent expensive considering how important it is.

DO IT ASAP. Your symptoms are exactly what i had a couple weeks before balljoint failure on the road while driving! I was about to enter the freeway in a couple minutes too, if it happened there... dunno if id be posting right now.

 

order OEM from Sewell. its like $115-$130 or something like that. i just changed mine recently and they weren't even bad after 120k.

for them to last another 8 years or so is definitely worth it imo

 

? I just went on there before discount its like $163 after discount showing $149.00

I would since you will have the car partially apart anyway.. Also you might want to think about control arm bushings as well..
