hey guys, new to board and new to the panther platform. I just bought a 97 Merc Grand Marquis w/160k miles. It failed inspection for e-brake and balljoints. The previous owner sold it to me for $300 because of this! Woo! I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I'm afraid the balljoints might be stretching it for me.. The power steering also whines, but I'm going to try to flush the fluid myself before I r&r the pump.
The front suspension 'clanks' when you drive over a bump, and steering wanders a little bit. The report does not indicate which wheel or wether it is the upper or lower joint. I haven't jacked the car up to check yet (snowing today) but I will. How bad are balljoints to do? If I take it to a shop.. What should I expect to pay?
