Another quick question..
I took another picture of it today and was wondering...should BOTH circled things be replaced? I ordered the 2 ball joints for $120 at Sewell in Fort Worth and then realized I might need more than what I had ordered? Any opinions/suggestions?
Thanks again for all your help guys!

LOL..yeah, it looks like he has the newer balljoint in that picture. Must go RCA.
That right there is a lubrication issue. Wassup with that? The manufacturer of these OEM parts needs to put more grease in that thing!

Fixed!
Now just gotta get the ABS system working again, ABS/VCS/Traction are all still lit and not working :/
Fixing this was easier than doing the brakes, took like 45 min total for both sides. Thanks for the help guys!

hmm- easier than doing the brakes?? really?
i'm at 204k miles now and i think i'm on my 3rd set of ball joints... i'll probably get these replaced in the next few months... :/

fixing the brake is a million times easier, but replacing the ballpoint is not difficult either.
(Then again, I have the ls400 brake so it pulls out. There should be no reason any ls400 guys paying for a brake job..no way.)

Bingo... it has to be a lubrication issue. All the broken ones I have seen have been bone dry. No cool.
