Agreed. The notion that the joint failed due to "tension" fails to consider the significant and highly variable dynamic forces to which the ball joint is subjected while driving. Likewise, blaming the Mercedes design for the failure of an unknown and presumably aftermarket part does not make for a well-grounded argument.
