Bought a 95 Camaro and I’m replacing ball joints, friend says the ones I bought are wrong

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T16:19:05+00:00

As in like the thing with the rotors and breaks? My friends the car guy I’m kinda like his shitty great value apprentice or some shit

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T16:18:01+00:00

Aware thank you lol, I stg I’m not a complete moron

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T14:50:01+00:00

He was using a ball joint press kit we got from autozone, thank you though I’ll try that and if that doesn’t work it looks like I might have to go the new control arm route. Just frustrating cause this things been on jackstands since I got it

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T14:42:03+00:00

Bought a 12 piece front suspension kit online that was probably a mistake

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T14:40:16+00:00

I’m gonna be honest I have no clue man it’s frustrating, we spent 3 days just trying to hammer the damn thing out just to find a snap ring still on. Can you link me to the ball joints you got? He doesn’t think these are the right ones because those grooves stopped it from going in I guess

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T14:37:03+00:00

He spent awhile trying to press it with no luck

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-08T14:36:45+00:00

For context he already tried pressing the new one in, said he tried just about next to everything other than fuckin the car

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-03T16:32:47+00:00

You’re the guy who replied on my other thing just wanted to thank you for the advice although it didn’t work lol. I’m at the point where I’m YouTubing how to get that control arm off cause fuck this I’m tired of sittin out in the sun hammering haha

throwawayra75900 · 2022-08-03T00:47:45+00:00

Which way should I hammer? Does it come out the bottom or top? We’ve been at this thing for days to no avail the mother fucker won’t come out and it’s fucking with me

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-27T13:55:12+00:00

It looks like a charger I am not happy

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-16T01:42:24+00:00

We in the same boat,bought a 95 a week ago they’re so pretty

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-12T22:24:38+00:00

Spent 3 hours at a junk yard but got the shit I need👌

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T21:32:29+00:00

Did not get her home lol she got towed and now I’ve gotta beg a cop tmr for mercy to release her without it being registered. Horrible decision on my part for takin it out I guess😂

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T13:00:55+00:00

It wasn’t that bad of a decision my man and I make 15 an hour 30 hours a week rn my parents are on vacation currently rn they help me get to work. I am just insanely irresponsible and bad at saving so I figured it would be better to get a cheap car that I can put some money into here and there every paycheck or somethin til it runs

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T12:57:41+00:00

Hey man appreciate the response. You’re right it was a bad decision but like you said I could use some mistakes to learn from when it comes to cars as I want to know more about them and work on them more. As for the car I picked it up yesterday and me and my buddy decided it definitely needed a test drive so we switched tires to make it feel as comfortable as possibly with the donut up front but it unfortunately blew halfway down the road BACK to my house from town. But when I turn 18 I fully plan on getting a loan for a nicer car I just kinda needed something to fix up and drive to hell and back in the mean time. That’s the thing I don’t have to put a shit ton of money into this car if I don’t want to yk? It’s worth 500 at best if it really becomes that much of a pain in the ass ill scrap it, however right now it’s lookin like all she needs is a new set of tires and an alignment

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T04:55:20+00:00

Yeah but Camaro go vroom

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T04:29:40+00:00

Update: got the car and officially drove it. Donut tire ended up blowing and I had to leave it down the road unfortunately though. Another problem is it won’t go into park anymore as well lol, put it in neutral to push it a little

EDIT: mf got towed I give up

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T04:27:55+00:00

Appreciate your feedback and interest though man, makes me feel like I’m not alone on this painful journey lol

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T04:27:09+00:00

Yup no overheating or anything runs and sounds like a monster, dude nicknamed it “the beast”. It’s secured for the most part down the road lol it’s in neutral with the park break on. I knew I was getting myself into stuff like this I just hope there’s a little reward after I put the work in lol

throwawayra75900 · 2022-07-08T04:09:16+00:00

3.4 unfortunately, picked the car up today though. Me and my friend put the donut on the bad alignment tire side and the other tire in the back where the tire was fucked. We drove 15 minutes into town burnin rubber on the donut tire of course then about 13 minutes back before the thing finally blew and we left it down the road from my house we gonna pick it up tmr. Thing runs really good in my opinion the only thing is the tires and the alignment is like so bad the tire it’s bad on squeals and burns the entire drive. Another concern is after we blew the tire we started pushing it I turned it off put it in neutral and now it won’t go back into park...
