    help with a front-end squeak

    No I dought it is the balljoints,they (balljoints) can be moved up and down a little bit when they are no longer good or worn past their use.

    steeda x2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit, whos got em?

    X2 balljoints are a cheap way to correct geometry. They are exelent and when driving over 100 m.p.h are very helpful! They do not need to be welded just "pressed" out of the A arm. As far as them lowering the car 1/2 inch Steeda sells 1/4 inch spacers that correct the lowering. I would recomend...
