    Damn car wont pass inspection

    Already dumped $250 on exhaust and brakelights. The right upper ball joint is shit and needs to be replaced because the whole wheel moves in and out noticabley. How much does it cost and is it a DYI type thing? Looked fairly acsessible. Please help before my mom makes it go to the junkyard before I can even part it out to my fellow 3geezers.

    Ball joints all the way around are pretty pricey. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think for the upper front ones you have to buy the upper control arm with them. They're like $60 or so a piece. The other ones aren't to pricey. Around $20 each. You'll need a ball joint removal tool AKA pickle fork to remove them with. You can rent them at autozone for free w/ deposit. You'll also need an installation tool to install them with, again, the autozone thing.

    2 bald tires
    Rot hole is back left wheel well which I can fix.
    I disconnected driver side headlght because I was trying to fix it or something because the motor is junk and it wasnt working. It needs to stay in postion for aiming. I can probably fix it. E-brake doesn't work.

    I think thats it.
