The BALL JOINTS FAIL!!

Installing new bushings is a waste of time/money. Typically it is the ball joint dry in its socket that causes the creeks/moans, not a rubber bushing that has failed!!

I hope you don't fly out here and beat me on my head with those broken ball joints!

Seriously, need this kind of advice so I can learn from misfortunes of others. No need to repeat them.

So, how do I test or check them to see what if any needs changing/repair? Do I have to take them out?
