Okay, i've had a bonk noise coming from the front of our v6 galant for a about a month, now there's a creaky squeky noise from the drivers side wheel area, it looks like the top ball joint but it's very hard to tell. I've seen the disaster stories on here of lower balljoints failing and so i want to resolve this asap. unfortunatly this is our only car. my questions are
1 How much is a genuine mitsu lower arm
2 does the top balljoint screw straight into the top arm
3 how much is the top ball joint
4 my steering isn't heavy, unlike the other lower arm failiures, so does that mean it's the top joint
5 is a track control arm the same as a lower ball joint arm/straight arm
6 also when accelerating hard into a left hander there is a vibration from the drivers front wheel area now, is that consistant with lower or upper wear
I haven't acted sooner on this issue because up until now i had no idea of the potential danger of something breaking like that. thanks for any help David.
