I see some liquid around the upper bearing (bought from ingalls) plus one of the bearings on this same linkage (original from tl).
now:
1.- if i change it to the ingalls assembly (bearing and linkage assembly) should i do it to both sides??? the bearing on the other side (passenger side) is new, i just had it replaced last week with new alignment!!!! ahhh. this would mean that i would have the ingalls linkage on on the driver side and only ingalls bearing on passenger side. i got a H&R sports with tokico blue drop.

2.- i have not changed the lower bearing in about 3 years, should i change this too on both sides? just so i don't have to align it again later??

3.- i lifted both sides and moved the wheel graving top and bottom, this is solid. graved the wheel from both sides and it moves but so does the steering wheel, is this normal?, it actually moves about 2". also the wheel rotates about 2" is this also ok?

i am furious and frustrated cause ever since i have lowered my tl, i have gotten problems with bearings, drive shaft etc. I really want to get this solved, and not get the car relign every 4 months!!!

thanks everyone, sorry for the long post plus i needed to let it out as well. i still love my car but i am thinking of getting something else cause all this trouble.

Later

 

You mean Ball joint?? Replace any ball joints that have play in them If you have the whole front of the car lifted up the wheel will move. Lift just one side and see if you have play. If you do find out where its coming from. Is it a ball joint or tie rod end.

You may want to bring it to a shop and have them diagnose what parts are bad
