Ball joints are now changed.

Definitely better, but needs a bit more improvements.
When I brake or go over small consecutive bumps, a small squealing/squeaking noise comes from the front passenger side wheel area. Me and my brother are going to investigate it tomorrow.

. Keep us in the loop.

I have an update.
So we picked my car up a week ago and realized the tie rod ends were gone and all the grease leaked out and one of my sway bar end links snapped (not sure how, possibly age?)
So I ordered both of these parts and put them on my car today. It was a night and day difference in terms of handling and now my car feels more planted, but a new sound has arose.
Whenever I brake, my caliper latches really hard and when the car bounces so does the caliper so me and my brother are going to pick my car up tomorrow and see if anything is loose around the calipers that we can tighten.
As another side note, my struts may be going as the previous owner put Espelir lowering springs on stock AP1 struts. So my next two big maintenance items will be either Koni Yellows, or a new coilover set as Evasive Motorsports has a set of Buddy Club N+ coilovers for $1,100.

Hey n1s are always nice. I had myself a pair and would love to trade my bc br for another set! I hope you figure out the problems. My car is aging so little noises are arising. We are somewhat in the same boat!
