95 BLKDOUT Drop Top Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 What are some tale tell signs that your ball joints are on their way? are there any tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 jack it up so the wheel is off the ground and grab the tire and move it from top to bottom and from side to side. if it moves in both directions (feels loose), its the hub, but if just up/down, the ball joint is prob bad.

DiscoStudd Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Just wanted to add that when it's in the air, grab the wheel with both hands. First at 12 & 6, then at 9 & 3. If you get movement when you attempt to rock it at 12 & 6, your balljoint is shot. Movement at 9 & 3 = bad tie rod end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
