@gurjit- yes and also when i had the wheel off i saw cracks.

Normally when i do suspention jobs i do everything in one shot, balljoints/tierods/arms etc. Since you have it apart anyways.

I just changed these first for the reason of its not a part that i have to remove other parts to get to. Just did these first so when i order the rest of the parts i dont have to shell out that extra $ and it lightens the cost next order down the line.

After i replaced them you do feel the diff rightr away, car has a better "turn in" and feels more settled over the bumps. Its tighter but no extra bounce/shimmy etc
