Hmmm, still not sure on the rubbing though. I didn't see anything shiny like it was getting rubbed. Since apparently the ball joint thingy is not the problem, my only guess can be the mount somehow causing it.

Any ideas?

Nope, no way. I didn't even think about it when I put it in. I just kind of smiled and nodded. Advance Auto is getting a word or two. Hopefully I can get home on Thursday (an hour away) and work on it and get it ready for DGRR. We'll see...

Yes, I have an idea! You MAY be correct, as a really good company called Stance, had this "popping" issue with some of their coilovers, and it was the top mounts binding. They repalced them for people free of charge, and all the issues went away!

So, it MAY just be the top mounts...

To replace the ball joint I just take out 2 bolts, correct?

Hopefully. I'm still not sure how it would cause a rubbing noise, but oh well. It's the only theory I've got.
