Default Pred ball joints.

G'day guys,
Just had the ball joints replaced, and the steering is now really stiff.
What do you think they did wrong and how do I fix? I'm sick of taking to them.



Thanks from down under, Geoff.

I guess you haven't owned your Predator long enough cause I only have 53 hours on mine and have gone though a zillion ball joints already and a-arm bushings. Its getting to be a old story.

I had three ball joints replaced already and a couple tie-rods too. I found after getting the ball-joints done that the steering was REAL stiff also..after putting some hours on it, it loosened up. See if that helps.

pleasure4qt is right, this is old news. seems the same people keep having problems with their ball joints. I have never had a problem. I keep checking them though as I am expecting them to fail any day now. I probably have about 100 hours on mine so far. Hope I get lucky. by not having bad ball joints I mean.
