2007 g35x Ball Joint repair
Good afternoon all,
I was going in to work the other day and I heard a pretty big squeek after I turned and also when I hit a bump. After some digging on YouTube it sounded like this was a ball joint issue.
When getting an estimate to fix it a local shop on MA quoted me over $1600. Is that right? I looked at parts online and the parts were only about $100.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks,
John

I'm not too familiar with the X setup, but if they go by the book I believe it says to replace the whole steering knuckle. I changed my two front ball joints in the steering knuckle with a rented press from Advanced Auto and Deeza ball joint I got from RockAuto.
If it's the ball joint connected to the compression arm that connects to the chassis then you need a whole new arm.
Again, the X might be setup differently from my coupe though.
