Thanks, just using my iphone right now, need to get something a little more user friendly for editing and such. Yes those ball joints are definitely designed to fail, oh well , keeps me busy 😉
@@protechautoservice4683 Cool - I started with a Panasonic PV950 VHS - the kind you wear on your shoulder :) Folks used to make fun of my first few vids :)
@@LakesideAutobody Wow, that’s a blast from the past, musta been pretty cumbersome, doing body work and wearing a camera on your shoulder, especially the one where you’re fixing the hole in the door sill. Still, didn’t turn out too bad 🙂
You can usually get a lifetime warranty one from NAPA for $50-$60, but the ball joint is riveted into the control arm so figure on a couple hours labor at whatever hourly rate the shop you go to charges, you might be better off to pay a little more for the part and grab a whole control arm from Rockauto and save some labor cost. HTH
Wish they put grease fittings on the ball joints - I think they would last a bit longer. Good video BTW

@@protechautoservice4683 I had that guy sitting on a stool at first - then bought a tripod so it wasn't to bad - just looked bad :)
@@LakesideAutobody Ahh, that's easier. What are you using for a camera now? The resolution of your videos is much better now.
about how much to replace?
