So yeah…ball joint popped out when I was dropping freakls off last night. Got it towed back to my place and in the garage, basically car can’t move. Anyone have experience replacing them? Would be willing to pay to have the labor done, unless you want to tow it to your place it would have to be done here though. I have a compressor and a lot of tools, no special ball joint ones though. I can pay dollars. beers or pizza, or all 3! you choose! Just thought I would post up see if there is any interest… ---
