    Bad Ball joint and Stromung

    I ordered new FCA's since one of the front ball joints was starting to click

    then clunk, now it's clunking a lot. Was going to change the FCA's when I put the Billy's on and did the brakes. Told myself they are just fine, month later

    one starts clicking during hard transitions. It was like this for a couple of

    months. Then within two weeks, it went from a small clunk to a BIG clunking

    brake, accelerate, over a bump you name it now. Good thing the arms will be here tomorrow. Putin the Powerflex FCAB's in to tighten things up a little.



    Decided on the Stromung exhaust after watching a lot of videos and weighing

    all the factors.

    Installed the FCAs and new bushings last night. Went for a drive, and the

    Clunk was still there. The car felt much better, and one of the inner joints had a bit of play. Pulled in the garage pushed up and down on the drivers side heard the clunk and a little squeak. I could feel the upper joint on the sway Moving in the bracket, link is new and needed a washer on the side with the nut. Car feels great now super tight.

          Bad choice with the Billys... And you probably didn't need a fca... it was probably the end link.

            Yeah, always a bad idea to throw parts at a problem without know what is wrong. All that for a loose nut.

              One of the inner joints was a little loose, the bushings were shot. I was planning on doing the front bushings, control arms and RTAB's by fall so

              I'm part way there. Next month I'm going to do the RTAB's and lower control

              arm on the rear (Already have those)
