Thanks, guys. It really helps. Now seems to me I have to dismentle the whole front ( shock, spring, uppper arm, low arm, etc. I haven't had all that experience, especially worried about the safety problem, like spring and shock. I don't have MB spring compressor, and Auto Zone has a 4 piece compressor, has anyone used these? Maybe I just let the tore ball joint run for a while until I gain more experience on the car. (So far I have only changed rotors). How long it will last with tore ball joint? So far both my upper and low ball joints are leaking as well shock, but no strange noise yet as well as no bumping problem ( it won't bouce 2-3 time when press the bumper) Only more free play on steering.
