[QUOTE="rkneeshaw, post: 1362330, member: 24122"] The driver's side upper ball joint developed about 1/8" worth of play, so, time for ball joints. I found Moog only makes an economy upper control arm. I haven't been a fan of Mevotech parts before, but Mevotech makes a "premium" upper control arm as opposed to their economy part that would be the comparable product to the economy Moog. So I went with the Mevotech premium upper, and we'll see how they hold up. While I was in there, I did Moog lower ball joints and installed new IWE's too. [ATTACH=full]292069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]292070[/ATTACH] Cleaned and re-greased the wheel bearings and half shaft ends. Had to fully remove the shock and spring assembly to get those bolts out for the upper control arms: [ATTACH=full]292071[/ATTACH] I didnt really have any problems with the lower ball joints or IWE's at 77k miles, but I did it anyway to be proactive.
