Hey All;

Got into this front disk swap. ASSumed my ball joints would probably be ok since the car drove fine and the thing only has 33,000 miles on it.

WRONG. They're all completely shot. And not at all cheap either.

Anyways, if you haven't checked yours lately, might be worth a look.
 
Just replaced mine today (uppers & lowers) along with pitman arm (all Moog parts) and what a difference! I knew they needed to be replaced but I wasn't expecting the car to handle as well as it does now... the thing seems like it's on rails! I know that's a severe overstatement but compared to before, it's night and day. Time for a front sway bar now....
 
yeah, you pretty much might as well budget to replace ALL original equipment wear parts when you get the car.
