Question Ball Joints ?

My 2000 Explorer had approx. 45,000 miles and all 4 front ball joints went on it and so i got them replaced. Less than a year later, i needed 2 more to be replaced. I got the dealership to do it for no cost but it was a hassel. Ive got about 56,000 miles now and its been fine but I was wondering if anyone else had any problems with the ball joints. The car isnt driven hard or was offroading much so i dont know what caused it.

if you gotta replace them again I would recommend Moog for the replacements. You'll probably be outa warranty by then, so if you're not gonna do it yourself you can still buy the parts and give them to the dealer or other mechanic. I've heard nothing but good things about moog.
