do you think ball joints would be a necessary item as well? Seems it would be a pretty easy install while installing the new/used contol arms while in there. I have new tie rods that were installed in the fall along with two new shocks(Koni)and a new left wheel hub and new brakes and rotors on all four corners.

Default At that disassembly stage..>>

and your mileage, Ball joints are a no brainer... One extra nut per side and a whack with a picklefork, or a squeeze with the clamp style remover..

Default Yeah, I bet! I can't get her out of my sight. Damn cute temptress!

and that photo is a might suggestive! Just wouldn't be the same with any other than a "phallus" looking vehicle. Might be a little more effective if she were stradling that hot dog.

Mine has 72k and I think I have seen a rip in one of them before. Does that mean they are toast?
