well..... the thing is, when i had my wheel off trying to figure out what the problem was the metal guard is the only thing i could see that could make a noise so i bent it out the way and its still doing the same, the noise is really loud sometimes btw.

should be ok. a couple of hours ide of thought. easiest way is to split the bottom ball joint and leave the shaft in the box, saves time later on.
cars super coll btw. proper sleeper on the steelies
