Saturn 1994 SL1
I am of average do it yourselfer qualification. Would it be a good idea to
undertake front ball joint replacement myself ? Is this considered a repair that can be done 'at home' ? at the age of the car and the mileage (220K) I do not want to pay the $600 I was quoted to do the job, if I can do it myself I will to keep the car running until I can better afford a new car. -- Greg M |
