I've got a pretty ugly sound happening up front occasionally when taking a low-speed turn, and I'm starting to plan for some suspension work. Ball joints are probably a no-brainer, but I'm thinking I might just go head and replace upper/lower control arms as well. I don't like the look of rust/wear/age up there. Would like things to know those important parts are right/good before any more long-ish trips. I can google and peruse RockAuto/eBay/Amazon with the best of them, but I thought I'd see if anybody has experience (or strong opinions) on specific aftermarket suspension parts. Or, if you think this is a must-go-oem scenario, holler back too. Appreciate the help, friends! -
BalljointPlay.mp4 decided to replace lower ball joint - supposed to have zero play. Lower's carry the load. A shovel handle was used to lift the tire repeatedly. Note that the torsion bar has to be "unloaded" so to speak - jack up lower control arm first. Many youtube videos available - just be sure to find one that covers torsion bar style suspensions, used an autozone part - rockauto was a lot cheaper but I wanted to get this thing ready for a trip.
