SSminneapolis Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 so i still have yet to get rid of my truck. for the basic reason that i haven't found anything to replace it... being that i subscribe to the belief that a truck like this is not meant to be driven like a normal truck...i'm sure matt and zippy can testify to my driving style...i've done a little ear and tear. being that the truck has been handling poor...i brought it in to get looked at. well, the ball joints were shot. the serivce manager where i bring my truck told me that i was lucky that i even made it to the dealership considering the condition of everything...it seems that the mcgaughys spindles and such, along with my driving habits brought them to an early demise. well, after a little over $1600 its all good. just like new. just another reason, that i'm not going to bail out on my ss anytime soon.

Bowtie70SS Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 For $1600 I hope you got more than ball joints...I noticed that mine were not bad, but not tight at 50k when I put my drop spindles on. I plan on replacing them this summer. Later Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 ...I noticed that mine were not bad, but not tight...I thought the same thing doing my front spindles @29K-miles - I just think the general uses cheap ball joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
