your passenger side upper bell joint that you just replaced last weekend breaks while you are driving about 20mph i replaced upper ball joints and tie rod ends last weekend. this pisses me off. brand new ball joints. luckily it was the upper instead of the lower. it chewed up the inside of the wheel pretty good and made a god-awful grinding noise. all this happened because advanced auto parts were out of the moog brand and only had these other el-cheapo's in stock. the truck was already in pieces, so i just took the cheap ones. now i have to miss a day of school in the morning to do this all over again. i now have to pay someone again to press out the old ones and press in the new ones, and have it re-aligned again. twice in a week
