ok i just replaced ball joint, due to clunking and squeaking while turning. car seems ok. now squeak is back, clunk is not. im thinking (hopefully) steering shock cuz its never been replaced (as far as i know).
also i have a freakin problem with the left front of my car. inner tie rod seems to have play AGAIN!, I had the whole link replaced less than a year ago, and the same deal with the joint before i replaced it. Now i bought another link, steering shock and idler arm repair. put it on next week probably. But is there any explanation as too why these parts wear out that quickly? could it be the shocks?, i dont think they have ever been replaced and car has 140K. Or i havent had a real alignment in some time (i have been neglecting the left front camber it needs a camber bolt +- 3mm), my buddy works in a shop and usually aligns my car and tells me to buy the bolt everytime, any help?
shud i be ok if i just go to the dealership drop the 150 on a real alignment after linkage is changed? or shud i change the shocks as well?
