The front wheels literally fall off if you dont change the balljoints in time.
btw - owning it till the wheels fall off is a tall undertaking. These cars when maintained will roll near damn forever, But if you short change on the upkeep, they fail quicker than any italian vehicle.
I have done this job - its just lots of small work, no grunt work etc. But the repair is surely a good one. - OTOH, a can of cryoseal does work - if the leak is not too terrible and you follow the instructions to the dot.
But if you do plan to keep it forever - I would go ahead and replace the evaporator.
