You can extend their life I think if you coat the bolt and spacer with thick silicone grease similar to spark plug boot grease. If you don't have that chasisi grease can't hurt.
Anything to keep the bolt from exposure to salt and water.
Let us know what you find

Does it pop in slow tight turns? about 90,000 to 100,000 miles, lower ball joint never been changed? You be able to tell by the plastic covers over the rubber boots. It is really hard to tell when they go. It takes one person shaking the tire and one holding the jiont to see if it moves.

And here's the link for blinker fluid, though I see it's currently sold out. After all, it IS that time of year that you should change your blinker fluid.

Changing the lower balljoints yourself is a hand full. As per the Ford CD: jack, pull tires, pull brakes, pull hub, pull half shaft, and undo the tortion bars. I did not do the tortion bar.
The tool to remove and reinstall is a rent/buy and return. When you think it is not going to work, give it more, it will work. Putting them back in make sure they start strait.
