well the lower ball joint castle nut decided to work its way off and caused the spindle to come out of the lower control arm and then it snapped the CV and popped the tire when the whole assembly went whatever way it wanted to. i got the axle replaced but now i need new lower ball joints. man this sucks ass

 

Just buy em as a control arm assy.

 

but the spindle has the lower ball joint in it the control arm just has the hole for it to go into

 

didnt you put the cotter pin through the bolt? gosh.

 

thats what I was thinkin . something so small saves alot of trouble..

 

The control arm has the ball joint on it. The threaded part of the ball jont goes through the bottom of the spindle, then the nut, then the pin. If you see the whole in the control arm that means ball joint got ripped out of the arm.

Nvm. Im an idiot. I read EK not EG

 

Geezus... it was a domino effect. Bummer.

 

the cotter pin busted next time im gonna put some aircraft grade cotter pins on it

 

So... wanna let me get that distributor for a bit?

 

the cars in the shop now
