    Today has got to be one of the worst days of my year so far. Im driving along today in my moms neighborhood and as i make my last turn towards her house my drivers side lower ball joint decides to take a poop on me. I proceed to destroy my tire and rip anything plastic underneath the fender along with. WOW:emo: nothing like your car taking a dump within 100 yards from salvation.

    well onto the maitenance question, is the drivers side lower ball joint on the 04 sti going to be the same as for a wrx. I found one on the autozone website but wasnt to sure if it was it as it only lists it as impreza, heres the linky http://www.autozone.com/R,APP410409...partType,00206/shopping/partProductDetail.htm tell me what you think??

    Thanx

    I believe the STi balljoints are different because of the control arm differences.

    yea we were talking about that while i was standing by the road. im so glad it happened while i was driving 5mph instead of 70. my mind had one of those youtube videos where one of the autocrossers wheels fall off in full replay mode.
