Replace before the wheel comes off and you have to replace the now damaged brake lines, repair possible damage to the fenders, and possible damage to the wheels.

If replacing the LBJs doesn't fix your problem, I'll upload a video of me slapping myself for being wrong and post it to this thread O:-)

What this guy said. Ignore all of the other responses because you will be wasting time on those parts and your car will still collapse.

Replace your lower ball joints. THAT is your only issue

So you are assuming the problem is caused by a small leak some where? I will try this out. Techs have mentioned that I have a very slow leek in the PS system. One tech said it was the actual Rack & Pinion and the other said it was the PS Pump. I never have a puddle of PS Fluid under my car, just buildup at the bottom of my Rack (on the inside).

Lol I didn't think your post was directed at me. I know the ball joints don't last forever, but at 3 months mine should be holding up well.
