Lower Ball Joints and Higher Mileage
The sense I've been getting from the forum is, even if you don't necessarily see play in the lower ball joints, that you should replace them for peace of mind and safety in older, higher mileage trucks. I just bought a '99 with 205k on the original lower ball joints (and radiator), and I was thinking I'd just replace them. I've, of course, seen the pictures of catastrophic failures these parts can bring. This rig has never been offroaded before, and I will be changing that.
Just one last hail-mary to make sure I'm not wasting a few hundred dollars--the consensus is just replace the lower ball joints regardless, and with OEM?
