I didn't tie up one of my hubs well enough and ripped a ball joint boot -- but if it ripped from that, it was due anyways.. Adding new lower control arms to the shopping list.

Driver's side cv shaft installed -- no spindle nuts yet (the big 32mm socket needing stake nuts that keep your shafts in the hubs. Those *must* be replaced.. new shafts will include them)

I should have changed gears to torque the spindle nuts, but instead I installed wheels, lowered the car, torqued, raised the car, removed the wheels, and staked the spindle nuts ... then reinstalled the wheels.
