Default do these ball joints need to be replaced?



they seem to have about 2 feet of play

this came into work a few days back. if only there was some sign that the ball joints were bad, worn tires or something lol

i guess we recommended it needed all 4 like 5 months ago and they didnt want to do it. another thing i see all the time, i understand some people dont have the money but they will bring in a vehicle where the front end is literally falling off, where i dont even want to drive it around the block to test drive it and all they want is their a/c fixed

Why must people put those junk goodyears on? I never see them last on good front ends let alone one that has the possibility of hitting 1 pothole in its life... Must be the roads locally
