If you have suffered a ball joint failure, please post here with year, mileage, and original or replacement ball joint. I have not see much info with regard to mileage.

Mine failed after the recall replacement back in about 2006 with about 30,000 miles after the replacement work had been done. The factory originals were at about 90,000 miles when the recall work was done.

Mine was replaced a LONG TIME AGO, no failure, but now wondering should I change them again?

So if they come up with replacement ball joints, I'm in for a set or 2

Still wanting to get front end chromed and thought that would be good time to change them.

LARY, I never even looked at mine until it failed. I suggest that you inspect them. Mine were obviously bad and I should have looked at them before the failure.
