Ball Joint replacement
Bizarre - May 1st, 2007 at 02:24 PM

Teaching #1 to drive and the bug took a gutter pretty heavily. Replaced the wheel, and realigned the front as the passenger wheel was out a bit.
Nothing looked bent but i still have a bit of wobble at 100km/hr
I have replaced wheel bearings and they are fine.

There is still a bit of top/bottom play in the wheel. It isnt bearing.
I am going to replace the ball joints. I have some very good tie rod ones - that is the easy part.

How much and where do i get some new ball joints pressed into some spare lower arms that i have.

Called one price and...... well lets say i was surprised at the price i was quoted.

Anyone got some competitive place in Sydney that will do the job??
