well i knew since purchasing the car the ball joint was bad and needed replacing..it made its creaking so i poked a hole into the boot pushed grease in there to quiet it up for the time being until i can afford new lca's..

well tonight it finally said "i quit" and broke
the good news is i was leaving a parking lot so thankfully nothing horrible happened..the bad news..i dont have the cash to fix this anytime soon since i need at least 300 for a new lca and on top of that my girls car got totaled this past week(she was rear ended) once again no serious injuries but like they say..when it rains it pours...
anyway heres a pic ..hopefully in the next few weeks ill get enough to replace both lca's and uca's like ive been wanting to.

 

You were lucky you were not on the freeway bro.
There are some used LCAs with good BJs (hehe) on the CL SC300/400 classifieds.

 

that sucks man, good luck fixing it. hopefully youll be back on the road soon.

 

thanks guys and yea im just broke so it might take a little while..but yea seriously happy it was in a parking lot and not on a highway cause 60-70mph and this happening would of been totaled for sure.

 

dang man that sucks, you see this fairly often with the 2nd gen GS's but not alot with the SC's.. hope you get it all fixed soon man

 

Sad to hear hope you get it fixed soon so you can enjoy taking it for a spin again.

 

wat part of florida are u in

 

Total bummer bro, I hope the sc gets a speedy recovery! I think I need to replace mine soon too

 

@ lexforlife, im in land o lakes, just a few minutes north of tampa

 

Dang you were so lucky, on the GS it will distroy the fender, speed sensor,brake line etc.. glad you ok man.
It could have been worst.

 

sorry to hear.. glad you werent goin any faster

 

PM aliga for a control arm.

 

^ yea i have like 70 bucks to my name right now...i doubt i can get one shipped to florida that cheap..

and thanks everyone..and yes biggest and most thankful thing is i was barely moving in a parking lot...usually im always on a road with 55-70mph limits..so definitely greatful for that..

 

^^You would be amazed at the prices Aliga has with some parts, not to mention no harm in asking.

But glad you and your SC are ok.

 

went ahead and asked aliga hopefully i can get this worked out...

also i hate to ask but if anyone does have a good driver side with good bushings/ball joint that i could pay payments for..i get a small check this week so i can have about 100 to send within two days and pay the rest within another week or two tops..
definitely good for it if anyone wants/can help ..definitely appreciate it
thanks
