[Supras] 89 NA Ball Joints

[Bob]

That is the problem. I believe this car has had the same problem since 2000
and just been sitting in dry storage.

 

Really these joints were bad at 11 years old and just over 50K.  Kind of
early for a car that didn't get driven.

 

Yes I am still pissed. I hired and paid these guys.  Now I wonder what else
they missed.

 

Heck, these were the good employees, not like the idiot who broke a Hyundai
Rotor off the hat because he used a sledge hammer to remove it (you can't
make this **** up)

So am I the only one here who hasn't replaced their lower ball joints? 

I have been assuming they were fine because two different mechanics told me
so and I just took a pry bar to them and they are (*&^%%*&^%^%$# falling
off.

Is this a weak point I didn't know about?  The car has like 60K on it. 

As you can tell I am venting.  I have spent way too much money chasing this
problem only to find out that my former employees didn't know their *** from
a hole in the ground and I may be worse because I took their word for it and

wasted a lot of time and money missing this simple problem.

I am sill pissed but this rant sort of helped
