Ya. Thankfully it failed as I was putting into a parking spot, not on the highway!





I guess there is one silver lining to this cloud, it happened as I was driving not my friend's mom.

At least it's not overheating anymore

I would have thought a failing ball joint would give more warning... pops and clunks, tons of steering play... the wheel feel didn't seem like things were about to go this badly.
