While I was R/R sway bar link bushings last wkend I noticed that the rubber bellows of my ball joint assemblys were split, does this mean I should R/R them? I also looked into my records and realized that my shocks have nearly 100,000 miles on them and the bellows on them have split as well, should I just replace them while I'm in there? Car rides fine, except for low speed rattle at about 5-10mph on rough road, worn balljoints? Strut rod bushing has same miles on it as shocks, R/R? In all, what I am afraid of is that this will cost a few hundred bucks(balljoints, shocks, buhing) and a weekend in the garage; does anyone have any recommendations or ideas on what I should do? Can I wait on the shocks? Thanks for any advice you fellow bricksters can offer.
