2-4-2011 - Wrecked the ball joint

Well.... I'm awesome. I destroyed my first ball joint. Only took what, 13 years of working on cars to do it? I utterly and completely destroyed the thread on the driver's side ball joint while trying to get the knuckle to separate from the LCA. They were on there like a boss.

After I destroyed it, I did actually manage to get the CV out. So not all was lost.

yeah I think that's overdue for replacement
that bish got wrecked. I did my thang to it.
knuckle OUT and ready for some sort of ball joint solution
