    So my drivers side lower ball joint went so I replaced it and a few days later there was grease all over my rim it was coming out of the bottom of the ball joint ( not around the rubber at all) so I took it off sent it back they sent me a new one I put it in and what do you know does the same thing leaks out the bottom in the same exact area, can anyone help? Should I go somewhere else for a ball joint? Is this common? Thanks in advance

    Get a dorman control arm instead.

    Here in the states they are 42 a pop, in canada likely more, but atleast the ball joints are good quality and you get new bushings aswell.

    I second this. Just installed my Dorman arms two days ago, they work very well.
