I wasn't replacing the ball joint. I just need the nut and bolt.

Anyone know of a "flat bed" rental truck or any place that haul my evo down to AMS? I need it tuned bad, but I can't drive it there because coolant temperatures keep rising to dangerous levels.

I actually did pick up some extras at one point. I might still have them at home, but I have to check (can't remember if I used them or not). You could also clean up the threads with a tap & die set.

When putting the ball joint back together, you do have to be careful to make sure the notch in the ball joint post is lined up near-perfect.

I like it.

And I think I still have one of those laying around somewhere.

If anybody local is parting with some wheels I am in the market.

Would prefer 17x8.5 or 9", an offset that would not require rolling or spacers and lightweight.
