Yeah man that was my fist thought while waiting for the wrecker, I’m thankful I was still in my neighborhood.

I'll chime in here as well.

I ordered some a steering rack from them and got the wrong one. After 3 weeks of trying to get them to ship me a new one, I cancelled my order and requested an RMA. Sent the original part back and they kept telling me they would refund me but I had to open a dispute with Paypal to actually get my money back. First and last time I'll ever deal with them. Extremely unprofessional.

Holy crap maybe I should put my stock hubs back on. They were not making any noise but everything in my front end is new except for the hubs so I changed them about 4 months ago. I used Detroit axle cuz the reviews were good an it was 86 for both. I do do some traveling an like I said they been on for 4 months an my Tahoe is dropped. I've not had that kind of luck with them yet but maybe I should change them before something happens I've got to much money in my hoe to risk it

Good call. Get them off before something bad happens.

Ok i got the lower balljoint removed and found out it actually failed at the stud just about 1/4" or so away from the rotating ball. I had assumed the ball actually separated but thats not what happened. Ive never seen a balljoint fail like this.

That is a very scary situation. I have seen what looked like a separated or broken lower ball joint on the shoulder and was amazed how there was no more damage than what I saw. Then you told us what happened with you. These parts are life threatening pieces of shit.

They are! Now there is MOOG on there upper and lower. Hopefully I get it back together this weekend. I need to get it out of the driveway! Monday a semi is coming with trusses and walls for my new house.
