Im not afraid to fail. Never have been. That's how you learn. But I didn't tell you guys one thing the wife was sitting next to me. And this was the first she was hearing of bad ball joints on a low mileage relatively new machine. That was the worst part. If I get it back together without issue I'm a hero in her eyes. But if it starts costing more money. Well Houston we have a problem.

Off subject but that is why I bought axle bearings ahead of time. We are pulling axle on my friends SS in the morning to check / grease / replace as required. It is raising hell now and the dealer cannot get to it. Trip planned for the 13th. You just have to figure out what it is worth to you, TO KEEP RIDING.

What do you mean by bad ball joints. That sounds expensive.

So just took her out. Figured if something was going to fail. Let it happen with me by myself. Took her down the road to an empty church parking did a couple figure 8's alls good seems tight. Me and my wife were talking a minute ago while eating pizza. And she said remember when we went out to dinner 2 weeks ago and every time we turned right I told you I heard a clicking. I said yea. At the time I just played if off. I thought with the exhaust being so loud she was hearing things. But it could have been the passenger side clicking. It was really bad on that side.

Wait, wait... Does @Bill Martin fund mods as a pay it forward type thing???
Lol...
Or does he do under the table loans that my wife wouldn't find out about???
Or...?

I'm sure Leonides would've been real proud of you....
This was as good as a Jason Bourne movie! -
Sadly I am just about "modded" out

104$ and 1.5 hours and my ball joints are replaced. These things are tiny, but if they just had a zerk fitting to add grease I feel they would last a tad bit longer than 18k miles

You say clicking when you made a right turn. Was it just one click or several while you were making the turn? I have 2700 miles on mine and noticed a few clicks when I make a hard right turn.
