Front lower ball joint wear spec
I finally got around to checking the balljoints on my C230 today. I jacked up under the control arm (using a piece of 1x6 to protect it). I raised the tire about 2" off the garage floor. I pryed up under the tire and measured the play in the lower ball joint. It was about .090" which is about 3/32" or 2.3mm.
Is this amount of play considered: Small? Large?
