So it looks like I have a ball joint that needs replacing.. first sign was after the the car has been driven and warmed up that in getting a creaking noise at low speeds especially when I turn the wheel to the left in a parking lot. I noticed it when I arrive at work after driven it about 40 miles. The sound reminds me of the steering sound of nearly every late 90s F150 lol..
it looks like a fairly simple job.. is it as simple as it looks? I was gonna get OE replacement parts since it’s my daily and it won’t be on the track.
can I get away without having to buy the special ball joint tool?
tips, tricks, and suggestions are welcomed.
I do plan to do lowering springs at some point. That may be the ideal time to knock it all out at once. I was thinking of the min drop BMR or something similar. Also when I do drop it, will alignment be a problem without upgrading anything else like adding plates or bolts?
