the usual vendor has the same supplier.
I just hadn't looked at them recently to notice the over-priced poly bushing

Quick Question

If I want to just replace the ball joint could I just unbolt the 3 bolts and then unbolt the top ball joint nut and then pry it off with a pickle fork and replace with the new one in reverse order.

I just got through replacing the outer tie rod ends as well as the sway bar link bushings and my steering/suspension still clunks and makes odd noises and I just want them to all stop!! So I think I will try the ball joints next !!

Thanks for any input!

Yeah,that procedure will work...You can also use a large hammer,and strike the hub area where the balljoint slides into the spindle/hub...It should pop right out of there...

Do you need any other tools? Maybe a ball joint press?
