You’re great thank you so much my mechanic says cheaply. He can do this for about $300 on an upper ball joint is that fair labor parts usually he’s a good guy with me I trust him.
I tried to install a ball joint on an 04 Trailblazer yesterday. The new ball joint is the rubber boot supposed to be sealed already? Both of the new ones i had were open and I couldn't get them to sit. I installed thinking the pressure would sit them down and it destroyed the rubber. Also do u have any tips on removing a stuck ball joint screw. I have 3 screws so I figured i could line the hole with one and it would come out and i could use another one but now it's beyond stuck. Just an uneventful afternoon… But I got the broken one out 😁
