Default Ball Joints
Any body remember the thread that had the article about the worn (upper I think) ball joints. It was about worn aluminum joints on a 928 and had pictures of the accident and the joints. What made me think about it was looking at my suspension getting ready to do a cleaning since there is a gaping hole where a motor once resided. Since the time is right I wanted to check to see if it article effected my "86. If it does then my wish list was just enlarged.

thanks

It's the lower ball joint that was aluminum from the factory and that was changed to steel in late 83/early 84 MY.
