Very cool, thank you. I have to say my merc mechanic gave me a price of $800 with new arms for BOTH sides and labor included. I think for the $450 more I'll just let them do it. They will be much faster than me and I won't have the headache. But for how much you saved I'd of done the same thing.

My left front wheel is making a really annoying squeeking sound over bumps and when I push down on the car. I went to my specialist and he told me its the ball joint. Now, hes trying to charge me $100 for the ball joint and $90 to install it. I found it on Auto Parts in Canada! - OEM and Aftermarket Canada Auto Parts for $42, I just wanted to make sure a few things first:

Is lemfoerder the OEM product?
Is the part # W0133-1619710 the correct part #?

Are there any other ball joints I need to replace? I thought I only had to change 1, but in this install (which is superb, thanks) you are using 2 ball joints.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Well don't forget he is of course going to charge a mark up on parts, after all he's doing the work to get them. His mark up isn't that bad the way I see it. Plus that's really cheap to do the install, I'd say at that price let him do it.
