that's pretty sad man, UBJ isnt a common failure in these cars, in fact you're more likely to lose the LBJ.

did you feel anything weird beforoe it happened/ usually ball joint failures exhibit a lot of play.

make sure you bounce back hard

Nah no abnormal play that seemed noticeable.

Just going through a quick parts search on ebay I can maybe get that side of the car back together and upgrade some stuff for 5/600ish if I do all the work myself.

I'm just bummed that my car won't be back together my Formula D at Evergreen Speedway in Washington. All my dreams of stunting through the pits back to the booth that I'm going to help run were crushed yesterday.

Dang, sorry to see that happen to you man. Every time I went in for an oil change I asked my mechanic to check my LBJ, 4 months ago they were fine and last week they were really loose...so I changed them right away. I was experiencing a floating feeling from front. Like floating side to side on the freeway. Anyway good luck on the rebuild...Hopefully insurance will give you enough.

Default Ls400

Here's a little update on mine. Has 8k HID's. I put my brothers new set of Work Emotion XD9's on. Rims are 17x8.5 so they're not too bad. Wished they were 18's. These pictures were taken like 30 min ago on my cell after I had it washed. These rims are also for sale. It has new kumho ecsta ast just bought yesterday. Located in Colorado.
