I have a 96 Mystique V6 5 speed and I had my drive shaft explode on me yesterday when pulling out of the parking lot at work. It popped my ball joint right off the knuckle, and the only thing that stopped my car was the tire smashing into the fender. My question is about the bolt going throught the ball joint. It has a torx bit on one side, and the other side has a 17mm bolt going through it. Which one is the proper one? And if it is the torx bit, does anyone know what size it is? I dont have one that fits it and will need to buy one.





I'm not sure what you're asking, still. Let me go look at my car and figure out what you mean.
