I have a 1999 Ford E-150 passenger van that likes to eat up ball joints. It has the twin I-beam suspension, it was the last year for it I think. Anyway, when I step on the brakes the front end shudders. I took it to the shop thinking warped rotors or something else brake related and now for the 3rd time I am told that it is Ball joints. The van only has 67,000 miles on it. I have replaced both upper ball joints over the last couple of years, now I am looking at having to do the lowers.
My question is this - who makes a ball joint with a true lifetime warranty? I checked NAPA's premium ball joints - almost $100 each - and their warranty, when you read the fine print, is not worth the paper it is written on - it is simply a catch 22 warranty. "If it fails, bring it back, give our specialists 30 days to think about it and scratch their asses while they dream up some lame ass excuse why it is your fault that it failed..... yada yada yada". No thanks guys!
Does anyone make a good ball joint that won't cost me my left nut?
