That sucks. I blew a wheel bearing and i noticed that the ball joint had a torn boot and was a little notchy like there was grit in it. I might see if I can have it cleaned, regreased, and re-booted when I take the assembly to have the bearing pressed in.

I've done that (removed the boot, shot the ball joint full of teflon grease, and installed a new boot). Seems to have worked.

Yeah thats the one. The problem is, where can I get the correct ball joint? I've only seen them sold for the front. Are they the same, or can I get a generic one to fit?
That's gouging . . .

If Jeff has a hard time getting one, give me a yell and I'll look around the garage because I'm pretty sure that I have a spare out there.
