when are you typically supposed to replace your ball joints? my GS has 125km on it (not miles). and i'm pretty sure it hasn't been done yet.

i think most people replace them around 90k. i was just getting worried so i had them swapped out a little earlier.

man i replaced so many ball joints and tierods for myself and my friends............... it's like a 15 min job for each side now relaxed... lol if these things were cheaper i would prolly change them out every 9-10k heavy car's, thin balljoints and tierods + NYC potholes don't mix and match just so my babie don't break her ankles

i am pretty sure if ur ball joint is bad, you can hear them before it happens. like most of the automotive problems, there is a sign b4 it happen. if your car is not lowered, ball joints dont go out that easily.
