Can min lower springs (Swift) affect the lower front Ball Joints and cause them to wear out faster, or put more stress on them?
Anyone replaced them? Is it a big job, with removal of many other things? Do they have to be pressed in or out? Thanks.

I would certainly think that lowering springs - which creates force stress and torque upon the ball joint's angle - will cause them to wear much faster, and to wear tires unevenly much faster too.
It would make sense that the more the drop, the greater the force stress and torque averting the suspension geometry angle they are designed for, and typically have to deal with...
