Well to begin my ball joints got out of the socket, both side. It really sucks because i hit this construction hole head on. There was really no way to avoid it because it was night time. Either way I had two options either replace both of the arms or do something that my suspension mechanice said that he has done in this type of situation. Well he requemended to me to unstiall the arms and pressure them back in the socket and weld them so the wont pop out of the socket. Well i went with his edvice and it all like new again. Just heads up if it happens to any one of you guys which i hope you guys dont go trough it because its a big headache.:thumbup:
