    For this type of work I would go with a trusted independent mechanic. I swear by Advance Automotive in Richmond BC, been going there for over 20 years. If you want a referral and more details DM me.

    Just make sure the folks doing this job are familure with the procedure. These ball joint require a speacial adhesive and should be heated to the recommended temperature in an oven on order to cure the adhesive. It is not a simple pop on and pop out service.
