well, i was underneith the heap last tonight, jacked up the front end to check my ball joints, and wasn't happy with teh results. doing the test, of wiggling the wheels, and there was movement with my hands both at 9 and 3 oclock as well as 6 and 12, leads me to believe all my ball joints are toast........ i also don't know how long they've been like this, or how long they're gonna last.
so, where should I go to get this fixed? I simply do not have the time, or space (just moved into a new house, and building a basement) to do this, so i will have to bite the bullet. where should I go, and if you know, whats the bill going to be?
thanks guys,
John

Call hitech auto
243-0424
Tell him Billy sent you. Thats about the best you will do at a shop in town.
Balljoints on a d30 range from 50-80$ a peice and expect about 4 hours labor, give or take.
So 200-320 (less then 320, lowers are cheaper then uppers) plus 320 in labor give or take.
Thats cheap. Last quote my buddy got for all for balljoints from a certigaurd was 900 plus.

And if asked, just get the basic ones. The "good" ones really dont last any longer on a lifted jeep with tires. That should save you about 100$
I'd do them if I had time, but am booked solid.
Good luck.

thanks again
