    Friends who work in machine shops kick ass

    I'm swapping out the old control arms/ball joints/CAB's on my wife's 89 325i, and I just got the old ball joints and CAB's removed, and the replacements pressed in by a friend who works in a machine shop, making climbing gear.

    And all it cost me was a case of beer.

    No big deal, I just thought I would share, 'cause hookups are the shit. :D

              No, inner ones can be changed too IIRC.

                  The cost of a case of beer is probably the around the going rate to have it done at any shop... at least a friend did it I guess? :shrug:
