Off topic, somewhat.
Earlier today my wife was passenger in an Accord owned by my sister-in-law when they experienced a ball joint seperation failure on the passenger side. Never actually seen it happen before. What a mess. Normally when my wheels are off I focus primarily on condition of the brakes. After this experience, I'll be paying more attention to anything with a boot on it.

That’s terrifying! Are they alright? The same thing happened to my dad in his mustang while on the highway. I will not be taking any chances. Thankfully have another car I can borrow till i replace my LCA.
