[QUOTE="94RedGt, post: 909363, member: 16001"] Well almost, not wanting to exagerate but driving home today i kept hearing popping noises from the front of the car, pops were strong enough u could feel it on the floor , well before i pulled over to inspect the car, my passanger front wheel just came off the control arm, loss control but hit nothing or nobody, thank god i was doing about 40 and not 70 in a freeway, anyways after getting the car home in a tow truck i found out my castle nut just came off the balljoint stud, i mean wtf it had a cotter pin , i still dont know if it just stripped off the stud cuz its dark outside but it just came clean off it, my balljoints are not stock cuz they have the grease thing wich i think the stock ones didnt have, they were on when i bought the car so PO prolly put them on, just want to know what size thread should i be looking at for the nut ? Should i take my wheel for a rebalance ? The side of the control arm grinded really good on the inside lip of the wheel so i dont know if they are alright, control arm got a bid of grinding itself from hitting the ground but its fine, thankfully nothing is bent or broken and im alive. And to think that before leaving home i was actually talking to my dad about balljoints lol, what are the chances. [/QUOTE]
