Alright Folks,
So here's the story,
my car started wobbling while driving on uneven surface roads so i get it checked out by a mechanic and found out that the front passenger side ball joint has worn out and the shock on the same side was leaking. the rear driver side shock was leaking as well!
So i bought brand new MOOG 500084 lower Ball Joints and Bilstein B4 Shocks,

Bilstein 24-026628

Bilstein 24-026628

(Rear)

Bilstein 24-024921

Bilstein 24-024921

(Front)

(Decided to change both front lower ball joints and shocks)


So i started the job, removed the wheel, and the lower control arm assembly and a bolt fitted to upper control arm. But that was not all. I found out that the lower control arm need to be replaced as well for the worn out ball joint had made the thread hole wide enough to make it useless for new ball joint.
I also found out that in order to replace the ball joint, you need to remove the brakes as well! i did that! and also the steering knuckle which holds the ball joint!
borrowed the ball joint removal press from O'Reilly's, Started the job and it was a pain in the ***, finally the ball with plastic came out but the outer body of the ball joint was still in! so used the hammer to push it out, out of frustration!
and then i found out that the hole that holds the ball joint has gotten wide! so the moog ball joint would just fell in easily, which it wasn't supposed to do!
So i just replaced the shocks on the both sides for now. And since while i was at it, i replaced the sway bar links as well on both sides.
ordered a new lower control arm and steering knuckle as well!
The steering knuckle (Mevotech MS40502) comes with the ball joint installed inside.
So cant wait to see it delivered so that i can fit it in my car and get it back on the road!
I also plan to change the Tie Rods on both sides as well.
So planning to change almost the whole Front suspension!
Lets see how it goes.

Haven;t looked at the Rear suspension as of now!
God Bless!

 

Sounds like your in the ditch and digging. Keep us posted.

 

Good luck with the front shocks etc, Ive got same front shocks for mine and new lower shock bushes.
The front lower rear control arms have to come off to change the bushes.
I have still got to order a set of new bolts and nuts from Jaguar to do the whole job.
Everything is so corroded under there its more economical to cut the bolts off and replace.
The job has been on the "to do" list for a while. The front shocks are weak, so its now at the top of the list.
The Bilstien shocks came at a very low price from a UK British car parts specialist.

Already got the B4 shocks on the rear and noticed a big difference straight away.
Good clean traction from a fast standing start was the first thing i noticed.
