So as normal my day consists of driving to kalamazoo and taking care of things. So why would today be any different? Ill tell ya why. Dont let people put cheap parts on your car.

Started the day looking like this




30 mins later




5 hours later this is how it sits.





And i took it up the *** but i guess it didnt hurt that bad

 

dam another joint failure...this breaks my heart, i hope u nor your passengers got hurt.

 

damn! did dis happen while driving?

 

Sure did.about 30 mph

 

wtf..how did this happened tho

 

Was the balljoint old, or aftermarket?

 

looks aftermarket. Wasnt old. No noises, leaking or anything.

 

u only replaced one? do both

 

Speechless glad nobody got hurt and yeah do both already!

 

this is what came off the car, yes i replaced tie rod as well.






all new oem ****

 

I plan to do the other one as soon as i have the cash for it.

I will do the other one next week. Can only do what u can with the funds u have u know. I have kids so ima fix it and drive my other car till next week.

 

Is the ball joint failure consistent on all GS models? 'Cause we're preparing on getting a GS430 which wouldn't be lower than '01-'05 if I'm not mistaken..Although if this thing is consistent might as well go for the LS430 since they're both selling for around the same price nowadays..Any idea GS guys?

 

All done. Now I have to fix my headlight, it wasnt too happy from the hit..

 

You guys get some serious surface rust up there huh - crazy. Glad you are ok and the car is on its way to being completely repaired.

 

damn sorry to hear bro... other side as soon as ur cash flow bubbles.
