Thanks for the sub. I have returned the favor because that's just what I need, more chaos in my life.

Anyway there is another crucial check on the lower ball joints that I found to be helpful because the tug/push method at 12 and 6 o'clock doesn't show the up/down play in a bad joint. I show how to check here

Oh yeah, we can hear that clunking on camera. That was caught in time before Chaos on the road happened. (Sorry, couldn't resist). Rock Auto gets around. Their prices are amazing sometimes. Nice work.
