So this happened to my girl lastnight :noway:
Looks as if the lower balljoint decided to crap its pants, luckaly we were coasting arround a corrner. . . and not on the highway yet, also we were right down the street from my house so we got it towed there. ughhh now I get to work on it in the snow tomorrow :TD: also the CV shaft ate shit too. . .

here ya go, im not shure what you want so let me know. Im asuming that it kinda just fell appart when the wheel cocked to the side.

Um, that would be the CV joint, not the Ball joint.

are you shure? im almost 100% shure its the balljoint, its in the lower control arm and connects it to the spindle

 

[SLO SOHC]

I've seen this before looks like the ball joint is so worn it gave out...

Almost looks like the ball end is right there but a close up of the joint will be needed!
