new noise after replacement
Great thread. I would say heed the advice about having something to cut the ball joint nut off--I had to interrupt the job to do so. In the process of replacing the ball joint, I swapped my sway bar links and bushings, and now I have a weird noise issue. I really only hear it at low speeds, it's a very faint wubwubwub that seems to come from the front driver's side--where I replaced the ball joint. It sounds something like a flat tire noise, only much, much fainter. I checked some threads, and it seems like one possibility is the new bushings. I will grease those first, and see what happens. Any other thoughts??? I'm worried I might have caused some slight damage to the axle or something.
