2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Ball Joints

[kenny61]

Has anybody ever had one break? I think mine are going but due to weather,workload and an abunadance of lifes little problems I can't get to them right now and am wondering if I have to worry about them breaking or if I have a little time to get to them?#@$%!

I watched a Ford doing a u-turn that he couldnt make without backing up. When it cranked it over the other way and put it in reverse to back up, his left front lower ball joint let loose. I would say the joints would have to be in pretty bad shape to let go. A little play alone wouldnt make that happen. I would just make sure they are greased up real well until you can get to it.

Mebbe change to a heartier grease ( I KNOW that's no long-term) like a synthetic AG grease until you can change out -to the joints don't go dry.
