ball joints
which ones typically go bad? top or bottom?
I put the front end of my 05 F350 on stands & dried to get some movement out of the joints by grabbing the bottom & top of the tire & lifting up & down.
I got more movement out of the drivers side than the pasenger side. I couldn't watch the joints & lift up & down on the wheels at the same time so I had my boy in front of the truck watching the joints.
He said he thinks he can see the bottoms move a little. (I can feel the movement so I know there's movement)
the truck is new to me & still has a short dealer waranty on it, I think it might cover this.
I bet they'll be very excited to get to work on it for me huh?
any thoughts?
