Consumer Description

UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON FRONT SUSPENSION HAVE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT THEY MUST BE REPLACED FOR CONCERNS OF SAFETY. THIS IS VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR BALL JOINTS TO FAIL. AND SINCE MY 2WD TRUCK HAS UNITIZED BALL JOINTS (PART OF UPPER CONTROL ARM, WHICH ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED), THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. *TR
