Heh,
My ball joints are still in good shape...after 173,000 miles!!
I am going to replace them later this year just to be on the safe side. The
moog's so far look like what I'll use. But if I get lazy, I know pep boys
would do the whole job for about $600 (both uppers and lowers).
Now all I need to do is finish my engine rebuild!! :)
