Well... as of late... one can NOT post a message here without some sort of mention of ball joints. Geez folks... give it a rest already.

Ratfuk, if you had spent alot of money on a supposedly well built truck that could end up killing you and your family, you would be a little more in tune with the sentiment.
How much did that old POS cost? $500.00?
I paid over 30K for mine so sit your ass down and shut the fuk up, biatch.

If you spent more time reading and learning, and less time runnin' yer foul/ignorant mouth... you wouldn't appear so stupid ! Blow it out yer arse punk. I could understand a couple of LONG threads on the subject... but every swingin' dick seems to think that another thread needs to be started (just because they want to be heard).
Just because you're stupid enough to spend $30K (plus financing charges) on a truck, your whining isn't of more importance than anyone else's input around here. LOL You're what a car salesman refers to as a "lay-down"... and you're probably too stupid to even know what to be looking for when you figure out what part of the truck is where you crawl under to begin to look (let alone, have the knowledge/ability to fix anything). So? You can cuss like a sailor... I'm impressed.
I've got less than $1,000.00 into my truck. It's straight as an arrow, runs like a top, gets me over 16 mpg, does all that I need for it to do. Who's the dumb-ass now? (Ya self-propelled rock) If yer smart enough to figure out how to post the link into your browser... here's what $1,000.00 can get ya these days. ($30,000.00 PLUS financing... ya knuckle-draggin' fool)

$450.00 of that $1,000.00 was the spray in bed liner I had done. The previous owner decided he wanted a new truck when this one wouldn't start. Dodge quoted him $1,800.00 (not including a tune-up and oil change) to "fix" things. I offered to show him HOW to do it himself if he bought the parts.
After he bought himself a new truck... he decided to give me the truck when I asked him what he was gonna do with it.
I replaced the starter (gee... it starts just fine now)
I replaced the front brake pads/rotors, bearings, seals. (Rotated the tires)
I did the FIRST tune-up this poor little truck has ever seen.
I changed the oil/lubed it.
I changed the differential fluid.
I flushed out the tranny/torque converter, changed the filter.
I changed the fuel filter.
I ran a few cans of SeaFoam through the tank/system before the filter change.
I figure I've got the following left to do before it's right:
Check/change the rear brake shoes.
Inspect/re-pack (replace if needed) the rear bearings, install new seals.
Replace the hoses and flush the cooling system (probably change the thermostat).
Replace all four shocks.
Flush/refill the reservoir for the brakes, bleed 'em.
Oh yeah... got some nagging "broken stuff" to get after too:
Map lights (rear view mirror)
Power mirrors aren't working.
My ball joints are just fine though... I inspected them when I was under the truck. That'd be between where the tires touch ground... just to help ya out there buddy. (Gee... for $30,000.00 PLUS financing charges... you'd THINK they'd've given ya somethin' a damn worth drivin'... like my '90 Dakota !!)

I'll phuck that plastic looking Nissan with my trialer hitch!
Every vehicle has some problems just go search for TSB's.
There's a lot worse to be weak than ball joints. They are cheap. Having some steel under your a$$ and a dependable and powerful drivetrain is where it counts.
I've had other vehicles even Nissan. It was dependable but the design of all them vacuum hoses, electrical, and emissions crap under the hood was retarded. My truck is well designed under the hood. Something you can enjoy working on which is as much as you can ask for a computer controlled fuel injected engine.

Hey Ratfuk, who said anything about financing charges? You made that shlt up, you stupid moron.
So I mistated the 30K part. I should have said I have 30K invested in my truck. But money is meaningless if a wheel falls off on the highway and you end up dead.
But I'll stick by what I said before. You drive an old POS so shut your friggin pie hole ya little turd. Just because you don't mind being seen in some old POS doesn't mean some of don't. And just because you finance everything doesn't mean everybody does either.
I paid cash for my Dak plus mods.
Maybe when you learn to read and learn what the words actually mean, you'll be able to post something meaningful.
You got owned, bitch. PLUS financing. What a fcuking dickhead.

Sorry to disappoint you... but I own the title to all my vehicles.
And... when I want to make an impression, I don't try to do so "in my truck". My bike will kick ass all over your $30,000.00 (ball-joint defective) ride. My truck is for haulin' work tools/materials and me.
Sure is nice to get into my Dakota in the morning and NOT have to worry about whether the wheels are gonna fall off it. So? Who's got the "POS"?
Angry little piss-ant, aren'tcha? Your loss... I'm lovin' my little truck.

Actually, I don't think ball joints usually bust apart with NO WARNING.
They make noises and people keep driving without checking it.
Sure, they are weak and wear out FAST in compare to normal (especially greasable) ball joints. But they make noises as they are grinding themselves from the inside out!
Being aware (doing something about that NOISE) should prevent almost any ball joint failure where it actually busts apart.

That's pretty WEAK when you can't debate while standin' on yer own two feet, or reason (one on one) like a man. You're pathetic "Mabe"... and weak. Take your pissin' and moanin' back to the school yard.
