Subject: Replace balljoint ?
IP: Logged

Message:
Every know and then while going over a speed bump or turning to the left I hear a clunking sort of sound. It sounds like something is loose somewhere behind my front left wheel. I was told it might be the ball joint? How crucial / expensive is it to have it replaced?

Thanks.

Brads are my enemy. I have found that drilling a 3/8 hole about half way in, then chiseling off the head of the side that you put the hole in, then place a punch in the hole and beat it out. It works best when you do not have the best air-tools out there.

Finally... a V8. '01 Dodge Dakota RC, 4.7, 5-speed, 3.92 LSD. = R/T Killer.
well at least a stock one
