rudefyet Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 got word from my tire place that my passanger side upper ball joint is getting bad...just curious how hard it is to fix and what it would cost for myself or even someone else to do it...from my understanding if i don't get it fixed soon the wheel could fall off...lemme know if i'm wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey b Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 yeah, a wheel hub and bearing is one unit. And you'd better replace that balljoint. It'll go out when you're going 70, not 25= very bad. It is a biatch to do if you don't have some decent toys to play with, but it should only cost you 20 bucks. And DON'T heat the balljoint. You could seriously die. It'll explode or shoot up through the fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hubs are usually $25 at a junkyard, i drove mine a few hundered miles strait highway, wouldnt recommend it though. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
