While I have not had any problems with my ball joints I have heard that ball joints are a problem on the W202 chassis car.

At 70-80 mph, it feels like tires are out of balance. Now -- my tires currently need replacing and, I'm sure, are out of balance. But...when they were newer and confirmed in balance, I still had that "vibration" that I'm describing but to a lesser extent.
I'm going to get new tires, get them balanced, change the steering damper and see where we are. I am going to visually inspect the boots and bushings while I change the damper.
