    Hey Sue, I'll take those ball joints. No rush because they'll just be spares. I've gone through about 5 sets from offroading with the larger tires... and using duralast brand.

    Just PM me the shipping charges when you get around to it... and thanks for being awesome.

    Thanks! You got it.
    They're from a '97 Rodeo with 131k miles in case that matters.
    Can you get boots for them?

    I'll likely get the LCA installed next week if the LBJ and bushings get here from Merlin, so they'll be separated then.

    You can get new boots for the ball joints and I wish I went that route before throwing my OEM ones away for cheap replacements.

    I'm pretty sure Rodeo ball joints won't work on a VX. They're shorter and will make the wheels do this: \ /

    Thanks anyways for the offer.

    Maybe Dave could use em?

    Oh dang, that's too bad they won't fit.
    I'll give you my driver side when I get it replaced. Noting wrong with it, just doing it since they'll be in there.
    Can you use just one OEM and one non- OEM?

    I'll make sure Dave knows they're from a Rodeo, and I'll edit my post too.
