Ball Joint???

BIG PUN · Feb 20, 2003

WTF Last night i was cutting the frame on my blazer getting it ready for my new bags. So i put the spindle on to see how low it would be and just before the bottom a arm bottomed out I heard a loud pop. Then i found out it was my upper ball joint that broke.
I'm going to run 16 inch wheels with a 205 55 about 24 inchs tall.
should i pie cut the arm or what??? Or should i even worry about this with the size tire i'm running.
Please Help:cuss:

Just replace the ball joint.

The balljoints have less than 1000 miles on them. They're just Advance Auto joints though. But I'm going to try that first anyhow. How tall are most 18 inch tires everyone runs on the front???

Sorry Pun. If your balljoints are bad or old replace them. Since they are not, just replace the one that broke. As for the tire size...... No idea. Tony, 98S S ON NOS did up a tire size chart with all the rim and tires sizes anyone could need. This is all one could ever ask for.
