Alright, I was at my dealership a couple days ago and they told me my lower ball joint was pooched. I've got some noise comming from that particular part of my suspension but i assumed it was my sway bar link (that's what i was last time) so i removed the link and the noise is still there. So i Jacked up the car and pulled and pushed on it a little and it didnt make any noise nor did it seem to be pooched. There is a small knocking sound when that side of the car goes over bumps....kinda like a noise i would assume a lower ball joint would make.....but it seemed to be fine when i was pushing and pulling on it so im confused. the dealership said our cars are known for blowing lower ball joints etc.
My question is, what is the best way to check if my lower ball joint is pooched. sadly i dont trust my dealership as far as i can throw them and im a little guy so that's roughly .7 inches.
Thanx,
Jonny
