i've had very good luck with moog chassis parts so far. it actually looked a little stronger than oem, had a better boot design and was slightly oversized to compensate for wear. knocked it out of the knuckle with a 10lb hammer with 2 blows. set the new one with the same hammer and a piece of wood. then used a ball peen and some paitence to get it flush. cost for labor = 0. moog ball joints can be ordered from the right advance or summit racing.

 

please please please take your car in to get aligned after you replace the ball joint.

just speaking from experience.

 

I shouldn't need to.. although I do see I need a new tie-rod end as the boot on that is cracked open.. and I just got an alignment, they should have said something.

Oh well.

 

Everything is fixed and she is back on the road.

Big thanks goes out to John at Abacus for getting the work done so quickly
