Actually that looks like the newer steel one. The Aluminum ones look more oval...you need to jump on this one, how often can you find a used ball joint on ebay? (now where did I put those old Aluminum ones I replaced?) <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />

As I recall my H.S. chemistry, "Au" is the two letter abreviation for GOLD. (Remember the name Auric Goldfinger? Do you recall what was on the license plate of his Rolls Royce?) ;^)

How cheap is this Au ball joint? YMMV.

I picked up my steel ball joints from Parts Heaven after calling all over the country. Got 2 steel joints and 4 eccentrics all in practically new condition for $75.

Man! I wanted to surprise you guys too but I’ve should of known better then to try and pull a fast one on you. It’s starting to look like lumps of coal in the old stocking instead.

It all started after coming home from a night of fighting crime and saving life’s <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" /> I decided to build a fire (gas) , pour a nice glass of Merlot <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> and browse EBAY <img src="graemlins/sleep.gif" border="0" alt="[sleep]" /> and low an behold to the amazement of my eyes manuals for $75 smack-a-roo’s with a “buy it now” option…now, I figured with you all having life’s and what not probably snuggled in bed with the significant other their would be no harm in my late night purchase so I hit the buy button and proceeded to write my Rennlist acceptance speech and press my “Men’s Where house suit” for the gala event.

However, you’ve heard the old saying…”too good to be true”…well, this may be the case again <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> unless in the next day or so they the seller (Tina) either answers my emails or the manuals show up on my porch. Every time the UPS guy shows up I go running outside only to find another box of Christmas “Hickory Farms sausages” not that that is bad but I’m stuffed already, fat as Santa and now in need of good reading material.

I paid immediately via PayPal and the manuals were supposed to ship the following day and that was 10 days ago from an address not far south from where I live. Sooo…at least this time if I get stung (remember the Mark Shackle-**** episode) <img src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" border="0" alt="[soapbox]" /> it’s in my own back yard where I have contacts that can deal with fraud issues at a rapid rate of speed but I hope it doesn’t come to that and she’s just busy buying Christmas toys for homeless kids or something like that.

Anyway, if they do show up and they are the real-deal, I plan on giving my “Shackle-****” Xerox specials to a friend needing a set so I hope they do show up.

Will keep you posted.

Mean time…Merry Christmas fellow Shark people.
