My tool turned up today for the ball joints.

 

Even though it was over $300 most of that butthurt evaporated when the remaining ball joints just popped out and went back in like nothing.

At $345 plus postage on egay I'd try make it too. 

No doubt it works very well. Nothing feels better than a tool that does the job first time easy.

That would probably work Rob.

 

I chose the one I did because I knew that the fittings would line up perfect and do it without any hassle.

 

I considered making one but to copy this you'd need some measuring tools, a plasma cutter, lathe and decent workbench at the very least or be willing to spend a couple of days with lesser tools stuffing around. 

 

Of course all one really needs is a fine thread clamp and various pipe offcuts.

 

I'm over struggling with stuff hence buying the "right" tool for the job.

mmm $300 odd isn't too bad considering the cost to get ball joints done. good on you for having a win!

 

I got my horn working yesterday (front bumper off) and fixed the rattly exhaust that I thought was something else, simple fixes ftw.

By any chance with the exhaust rattle, is your car manual and did it go away when you pressed in the clutch? My manual has a rattle especially when cold and sounds for all money like the exhaust (metal on metal sound) but press the clutch and it goes away. Mine has done it since new.
