i just replaced all my balljoints, pretty damn easy to do if u have an air
chisel. i also just had energy suspenion urethane bushings installed. the
were fine for a week, until one fell out. doubt it had anything to do with
the bushing since it was reinstalled and is fine. ride seems tighter, no
more squeaks, thats a +. check ur tie rod ends as well, ive already
replaced one.
