So today at school we tried to pull out the 1991 integra that the balljoint failed on. So ill just skip to when we tried to actually pull it out
So 2 of my freinds are there and the teacher. We go to chain up the car and pull it out ( i already think this is a bad idea but the car had to get pulled out it was less then a foot from another car on the side that needed to be worked on ) Anyways we go to chain it up and the chain wont fit on the tow hook or another mounting point underneth the car. So sarcastically i go " we could put it on the sway " So my teacher goes " alright ". Im like " uhhhh wont it bend? ". His response " Yeah if we pull it hard enough ( and laughs ) ". So he gets in his jeep and puts it in 4wd ( right wheels were on snow so it helped ). Hes sitting there dropping the clutch and jerking the car backwards violently via the sway bar
. Finally he pulls it out about a car length. The car gets hung up on some snow and hes about to stop and have us shovel it out but he decides to try one more pull to maybe get the car out. Wow it came out...
No no not the car the sway bar. After that we shovled the car out. I decided to just take the knuckle off right there because dragging the car down clearly wasent going to work. Anyways to wrap up the balljoint got replaced and its sitting properly but its missing the right axle so it cant drive out but at least it can roll out.
( the other wheel was pointing stright )
By the way its the threads that are stripped off because the whole stud got bent and we couldnt screw the bolt on all the way. We were planning to replace it when we parked it but it broke before it made it back inside
