Failed inspection...

[Kod]

Well here my scenario...

Left front upper ball joint, wheel bearing, and lower control arm (didn't specify upper or lower on the control arm but guessing that it's the upper since the ball joint comes with it?)

Only wondering do you need any special tools for doing that?

Need a cheap 2 inch down pipe... nobody will just put a new flex pipe on it without charging 2 - 3 hrs of labor.. So still looking at 150 for that.

Horn isn't working either, checked the small fuse and that's fine, guessing it may be the 12v fuse in the engine compartment.

Oil leak at the turbo, this is new... hoping just maybe one of the rubber lines.

Thanks for any help.

Edit:

Something weird... lights always flickered have no idea, jumped it 2 days ago now that went away??

MPI Relay I know should be changed because every so often when going to start the car you get a buzzing noise instead of it cranking...

Dont quote me on this.... but i believe certain year 2g's have a ball joint recall. yes i know its 2013, and im not sure of the stipulations, but that could save you a little coin to address the rest of the stuff. If you have a dodge dealer around have them check your vin #. thats where I had mine done at. I had a 97 Talon TSi FWIW

Recall is for lower lateral arms, not uppers.

I saw the hammer method looks like a good deal if need be, but if I remember correctly If I change one I should change the same on the other side? Even though was just done 2 yrs ago?

And any advice for the bearing? The passenger side kicked my ass to get out for about 2 hrs with a a hammer... any good sprays to try? PB didn't help at all.

They usually wear out equally, hence changing both side together. If the other side ball is not loose (check by seeing how hard it resists spinning inside joint) I wouldn't bother. Add heat with the PB Blaster and use a large punch with your 5lb Sledge and knock it out. Sometimes a couple applications of PB/heat are needed to make the stuck thing expand & contract enough for the PB to penetrate well.

Well tomorrow I will be doing the front end, I'll check the knuckles and see if they are worn or not, going to advance auto shortly to see if they got the 12v Horn fuse and see if that went, maybe even the alternator choke fuse because looks like it isn't broken but a little burnt maybe on the one side..
