Tie Rods/Ball Joints

[N9netwoAccord]

not sure if this is in the right section

so i have the horrible squeaking sound and its been narrowed down to ball joints and tie rods... how much has everyone paid about for theirs?

???

sure it's not your control arm bushings?

[N9netwoAccord]

yes sir i am certain...

i ended up poking the boots with a hypodermic needle? and filling them up with grease that way, and they were quiet for about 5 minutes till i start driving again

[rickyduckworth]

how are those joints moving enough to squeak anyway........


you jumping shit?

[N9netwoAccord]

nope... i think its from when i changed out my clutch i had to use a pitchfork to split them up, and that ended up popping the boots

edit: the joint itself may not be bad, but its a lack of grease because the boot is popped thats making it squeak... and so rather then just replace a boot (if thats possible) i'd replace the whole thing

The ball joints on our cars are pressed in. I had to buy some early last year, but it came as a whole upper A arm assembly. It was $176 from auto zone. I don't know about the tie rods.

Maybe Ricky could chime with his suspension wisdom and come up with a cheaper solution?

I bought an ebay sus kit came with upper control arms, balljoints, tie rods, and swaybar bushings, it was about 160 not bad at all and i'm actually very impressed.

i bought the ball jonts from auto zone for $60 over 2 years ago.and i replaced them my self with my dads help ofcourse.

I payed 45 shipped for my tie rods.....

rock auto sells just the ball joints if you wanna go that route.......yeah they're pressed in, but simply removing the upper control arm and taking it to someone who can press them out/new ones in won't be too bad......for both upper front ball joints i paid $120 from rock auto and they were adjustable.....fuck, haven't even installed them yet either, just gonna sell them with the car

if its making a whale sound or like an old door creeping open its the balljoint..
