i ended up replacing it:Cry: thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwr0qoi-1lQ It was an oem part. what do you all think?

I think i may have broke my new ubj..while trying to press it into the knuckle i noticed it now falls limp when laying on its side.....what do you all think?

Extremely grateful nobody was hurt and that this forum is here. I will be searching around for the suspension project. The pressing of the UBJ is something i havent done before so im a little anxious about that but the rest looks suprisingly easy. OH... i agree with your other points also...
