Whats the risk. Almost all of my boots are cracked on my sd and the lower ( i think thats it) drivers side ball joint (the big one at the spindle) looks pretty far gone. There is also a knocking noise when I hit even small bumps in the road (which i think is that ball joint). I plan to replace them, but they are not my priority right now. Whats the worst that can happen? The neck of the ball joint snaps off? Or i just get more and more play in my steering.





I ordered the ball joint on my last parts order but Id like to do all the bushings and everything while im at it. Anyone actually have a ball joint failure? Sounds scary
