Bad Upper Ball Joint or.......

I noticed my PS wheel move more than normal when I grabbed a hold of it last night. I didn't have time to jack it up and check it out, so I will do that tonight. I'm running Light Racing / SPC upper control arms and the date on the invoice is 5/17/12. I'm not sure when or how often these fail, but I do drive a great deal of the time.

I am not an expert mechanic by any means, but I cannot move my SPC UBJ like that... Or at all.

I'd say you've found your issue.

I just thank God that it held. I removed the old UBJ, and other than being super sloppy it felt fine. Had a few gritty spots but loose and smooth. Io de installed I had no more play or popping, and handling seemed normal if not a bit sensitive. had (2) UBJ shipped overnight with the intent of replacing both at the same time. (1) had 2 holes in its dust boot and will have to be returned.
