why do the ball joints need replaced so often? isn't this unusual?
3/2009 A-frame joints, 2 lower ball joints
5/2013 lower ball joint (didn't say which side)
2/2014 lower ball joint (didn't say which side)
9/2015 2 upper control arms, ball joint (didn't say which side)
4/2019 "left front control arm ball joint assembly"
5/2021 right upper ball joint and control arm
last time, I asked the mechanic, wtf??? he said they go bad when you don't lube them. so the part he replaced it with, doesn't have a grease zert, and neither did the old one. asked him if they go bad without lube how are these going to last. he said they are sealed and the grease is packed in there so they last a good long time.
yeah right. they aren't lasting.
