    Hey Everyone,

    I'm new hear and cutting my teeth with wrenching on cars.

    Just bought a 2000 4WD 4cyl 2.7L auto trans with 223,000 miles on it.

    So far my friend and I have replaced the belts, a fresh oil change, a new air filter and replaced some bulbs and fuses that needed attention.

    I've read on here that changing the ball joints is a good idea, and I want to do that next.

    I'm looking for recommendations on where to buy them? I want to stick to OEM parts that will last.

    I'm also looking for advice with identifying a shutter in the foot pedal that happens when starting and stopping in traffic. nothing loud, just feels like a shake in the pedal. shifts beautifully otherwise.

    Ay friend and I think it's either the drive shaft center support bearing or potentially needing new transmission mounts.

    Any advice with diagnosing the problem and where to buy parts would be extremely appreciated.
