Balljoint down, Now inner tierod to go... Haven't done one before.
 
So I found that clicking sound that the car was making during acceleration. And I found it was the ball joint. This baby was done. I could actually lift up the knuckle while everything was off and the balljoint nut was still on.

Now is it normal for a balljoint too have that much pressure on it when you drive? I mean I like to launch a lot and I don't wanna be putting in another balljoint every time because this one kinda sucked getting out. lol but I have had 5x worse just not on a car. I only put on the littlest pressure on acel and it like a loud click like a broken spring. heh

Anyway, I never did an Inner Tierod before nor in school so What can I expect? How hard is it? I looked under and it seemed to be the drivers side one because the seals were broken off it and I was ripping them off. This badboy clicks when I am turning slightly. The outers are fine. The inner does not look extremely hard with a lift but it does look like it will be a ***** to unbolt and put in.

Other then that I believe that is the only suspension issues I have. The inners also make a squeek sound with car on and off. So obv I know it is not a belt.


thanks who ever has experiences with doing one.

Most likely, yes. Any auto parts store should have it, really.
