Thanks Fred, Look at the Lt wheel and how high it is compared to the right side in the last pic. I noticed while we were at the scene, I started the engine and stood outside the drivers door while turning the steering that the Lt wheel seem to just hang in the air. There is really no pressure of the tire sitting on top of the control arm. My thinking would be that there would be LOTS of pressure from the upper control arm as well? Oh well.....Just so DC takes a look so others dont have the same problem......BTW, The car has 21k miles for all who are interested..... Don |

What is the feed back from DC? Was the ball joint greased? Glad everyone is ok. |

Blwnyellow99, thanks for that update. That is exactly the type of response I was hoping to see. I have 27,300 or so on my 99. This is a critical item to keep an eye on. Thanks again and glad to hear they took GREAT care of you at the dealer. |

Sorry about the pictures not being there but they were deleted awhile back since this post was back in 4/2001.. My 99 just turned 44,000 and still no problem with the ball joints so far... ------------------ |
