[quote=waybomb;1625072]I've had my 2001 E430 Sport for about 10,000 miles now. Very happy with this car.

I changed both lower ball joints - one side was loose. WAY easier than any ball joint I've changed in the past. Why didn't they make ball joints like this 30 years ago? So easy.

Dealer tells me that I will need to replace ball joints. I passed at the time because of immediate expense. I am thinking of doing work myself. How do I diagnose what joints to replace? Are any special tools needed? Thanks.......Highwater
