Oh Hell!

[SkyHighColorado]

I did the impossible! I snapped an upper balljoint while driving, it was a little sketchy but I held her straight. I am now going to replace the cv, bj and do a brake job because the control arm bumped the rotor!. What a PITA, I guess I am going to decrank some and lower tire pressure, the roads here are like offroad trails.

Did the ball joint actually break, or did it pop out of the socket?

Wow! Sorry to hear that, at least it didn't cause any more damage than it did or cause an accident!

SAS time!

Lol yeah it was lucky I was only going about 40 mph. It straight snapped in half and it was a moog. I'm going to work on it this afternoon and hopefully get it back on the road tomorrow.

ive had that happen to a few moogs, sorta why i never use moog anymore.

 

[SwampHound]

Holy cow! Glad nobody got hurt and it turned out alright. Makes me uneasy about having all Moog BJs....

Had a buddy have this happen to a moog lower on his s10.

Damn!!! Glad no one was hurt.

shes done back on the road. I decranked it about 1.5", replaced cv, replaced ball joint with another moog, got the best rotors and pads napa had then did an eyeball alignment and it tracks pretty straight!
