Subject: Re: Does anyone here knows if VBP ball joints fit and if they are a good brand? by iCorvette on 2010/12/19 19:49:15 My real question was to see if they had fitment issues as experienced by some other users with other brands , hey Bogus, Yeah autozone loaned me that tool for 100 deposit good for 72 hours then I own it, talk about pressure, it helped my get all the rear bushings out and some in. frankly just tossing ideas around, my ball joints with the tires up, does not wiggle when I try, and flipping through the pages of my Haynes repair book, I ran across what you are saying about the "wear indication" however they say that the shoulders of the zerk mount/ threads. fall below the joint housing plane, which in my estimation is sooner than your procedure. nevertheless, I am quite sure they are the original delco's with ~145k on them and from the visual, I think they can go a few more years, the PO's x2 were anal about grease.... matter of fact he calls to check on me and his baby and it's been 2 years since I snatched it from him. He for sure did not like my putting the 700r4 in from the black tag, heck it's mine now. It is in good hands though, albeit rough at times, yeah I mess up alot. I want to do at the very least the polys, I don't know why but it has me obsessed. The ball joints are good. okay... how about this I live in a nice apartment, and the owners I know lets me work on the car, but I'm streamlining and selling off a lot of material things. i just don't want crap anymore.... I can go and buy a vise and a press, cheap enough and then I could sell it after the job, for a 30-50 percent hit. result... job done right at my place, reality.... big hassle.... would you consider me bringing the part and putting your machine shop to good use? and using that raincheck for your initial offer for helping me with the rears, but this time it's for the fronts. I would diffenately pay you for your extra pair of hands.... |
