Ball Joints
Hi Everyone,
I just picked up an '04 Dakota 6 cylinder in pretty decent shape, but after getting my state inspection it need a brake line, shock, and passenger side upper and lower ball joints, not too bad considering I picked up the truck for 3,500. My question is, do these ball joints look like the boot has separated from packing too much grease in there? I paid $550 to have them replaced and don't want to have issues later and be SOL when I can have make sure it's right in the first place, I'm no mechanic but it doesn't look right. Thank you.
