Pulled my arms today trying to track down that pesky steering wheel vibration.. Man those Ball joints wont pop off without that tool.
My Bushings don't even look bad. Oh well I'll just press them in for good measure. I already did the rack bushings, the sway bar bushings, and re-barreled my front rims.
These were a little pricy. but they are nice. I had prothane bushings before and they ended up squeaking like mad a few months later.



Looks like im going with the Ebay ball joint boots (linked above). philllyj, any word on how well they fit? Someone said the Energy Suspension boots are too tight at the top opening.
