I had a ball joint fail on my buick doing 5 miles an hour, NOT FUN

took out the CV shaft too.

The shop says that theres no way to tell when they will go, since with mine they cant be lubed.

The other one could last 30,000 more miles or 300, no way to tell, they just pop when they want to.

Better to be safe then sorry.
