Well just when i thought everything was going good with the mark something else goes. It looks like I have a bad ball joint on the passagener side. At least that's what my friend is saying. How bad of a job is it to do on this car? It is a 97 base. Also what am I looking at as far as price?

80 bucks from 5 star ford. Passenger side is a breeze. Just be glad it's not the drivers side. Do it and you'll be happy with the results.

i can wait until after the show. How do i tell for sure it is the ball joint? He just said it might be bad.

Jack up the car at the suspected wheel until wheel clears the ground and for safety place a wheelstand under the car(not at the suspension). Grab the wheel at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, forcefully lift and pull at bottom while pushing the top. Alternate, pulling top and pushing bottom. You should not have any perceptible 'play' nor should you hear a 'clunk' or feel any loose joints.
