Nothing appeared out of the ordinary. Everything was together and packed with grease. I drive it about 3-5k miles per year, rain or shine. Ball joints are 10 years old so roughly 40k miles on them. I can understand them not being “new” after 40k, just thought it was weird to have such a difference in wear between the two. MarkS MAR 25, 08:59 AM Right rear ball joint. From experience, it seems anything on the right side is more susceptible to roar conditions, puddles, pot holes etc (unless you are in those places were they drive on the wrong side of the road ). Noticed this mostly on the brake components. SemperFi18 APR 03, 08:27 PM Does anyone know what those brackets that mount with the ball joints are called? During my rebuild process I seem to have misplaced those.. the ones that sit in between the control arm and the knuckle?
