Hey Joe, thanks for your insight.
At first, i planned to do what you say but then the guy at the yearly car checkup told me it was fine just replacing both outer ball joints (and cheaper).
My way of thinking was that since both the ball joints and bushings are made of rubber and probably have the same age/wear it's better to replace them all at once to have an even ride.
The problem with this way of thinking is i can keep going and also replace the stabilizer links, tie rods, rear bushings etc which will set me back maybe 400 EU.
But then again, the car is almost 21 years old so maybe it's time she's had an overhaul.
I guess i'll get a
control arm set and go from there.
