That's a very rare occurrence for a ball joint on any vehicle. I've seen some VERY worn out ball joints and the only occasion I have seen one come apart was due to improper assembly by another shop. They did not install a cotter pin and castle nut fell off. I would not worry about this. Check for play in the joint - if there is not perceptible play then clean the joint out, add some grease, and put on a new boot. I just went though this with my LMTV - all my tie rod and drag link boots were shot from 14 years in the desert but the truck has only 5800 miles on it and the steering is VERY tight so no reason to replace the joints. I used generic urethane boots, cleaned and greased them up. GD

Merry Christmas “Old school” Subi nuts, and to the other Subi nuts out there too! It’s snowing hard down here Seriously, it’s shorts and Tshirt weather even at 33 minutes to Christmas Day! Stress less America, you’ll get there Best wishes and I hope you get some Subi bits etc from the big man! Cheers Bennie (ps: not wanting to turn this into a Christmas thread! Thought the pic would be good shared here!)

I love the strut bar setup! I actually like the shape of that one, maybe I’ve come round on them. The back end looks better than the EA81 and EA82 sedan rear ends I reckon. So what’s the plan then, tidy up and rego it? Do you have a cheaper club rego scheme over there for car enthusiasts? We have one here, some ppl unfortunately abuse the system. We can only hope they’re busted doing it. Anyway, cool find and it must have been priced just right to leverage the money from your wallet! And I love it how you’re working out how you have three of these now Cheers Bennie
