Thanks for the replies but I'm going to have to take this project on myself. Or I hope to if it doesn't require a lot of new tools. What would be the best way to verify the ball joint wear? What else should I check for?

Regards

Recently purchase a Pontiac vibe. When I looked at the car I was told by a mechanic that it needed a stabilizer link so I replaced both of them with Moog brand ones. The clunking sound still is there. I'm not sure where the could is actually coming from as I wear hearing adds but my Grandson said it...
