    Bally Joint 2 - Owners 0 [Highway Style Again]

    Yes yes.. The balljoint on my 5gee decided to shit out doing 80 today. No damage other than the drivers sided suspension components..

    I have drop springs and struts laying at my house waiting to be installed - I guess now is the best time.

    Doing 80 with traffic, wheel shit off.. I kept control and guided her to the shoulder.

    holy crap! glad to hear nobody was hurt. A less experienced driver would have possibly lost it.

    Damn, glad to see you're o.k. and your car is fixable at least.

    ive only seen the lower bj break like that one other time, and it was a gen5 accord like yours, usually they just pull the entire ball part of the joint right out of the socket.
