Thought I'd share this as I just did my ball joints. Rather than $60 at your local parts store I ordered from ebay user truebluemotorsports and it is a BNIB Moog Ball joint unopened and is identical to the one i bought at my Orielly's, I feel safe saying anyone can order before they do the work and save some $$!

Wow that's pretty cheap. Might have to order these now. Are you sure they're moog?

Sent on the toilet from my SGH-T679

How to replace ball joints

Tools needed: Cell phone with [MENTION=17070]Tony[/MENTION]'s number in it

Step 1: Call Tony

Step 2: Watch Tony

Step 3: Feed Tony

Step 4: Tony likeee beer

Step 5: Enjoy new ball joints!








LOL but no in all seriousness this is a great write up man. I sure dread the day I have to replace mine, I've never liked ball joints and I guess Mustang balljoints are just a total pita. Can't wait! Thanks for the write up man :)

Moog balljoints are shit the top quality napa ones are the way to go .... Life time warranty as well so if they fail you get new ones for free
