ball joint life in general, and sankei 555 ball joints for Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

How long do people typically get out of the original ball joints? I'm considering doing them because I will have the control arms out to replace the bushings. They don't have any detectable play when in the car, but Toyota's spec isn't play. It's a rotational torque limit. I haven't check that.

The car is a 2014 Yaris LE with 290k km (181k miles). It was driven in Canada (winter conditions!). AFAIK the control arms are original.

Does anyone have experience with Sankei 555 ball joints for a 2014 Yaris (or whatever year)? I recognize them as a good brand, but I don't have personal experience with them.

If not Sankei 555, what's a good choce for a Yaris? Toyota don't sell just the ball joint unfortunately.
