Enes, maybe wait until they do break to bring the car in. (break as in the boots splitting)

Its easy to tell if its been done or not. Look for white rubbery coating on the lower end of the arm(joint).

I had my Talon's Lateral Arms replaced last year and the bottom of the new joint has a white,rubberish coating(to keep out the water). Mine were not worn at all. I just had them replaced because i didn't know how long the car would stay running.

If it seperates your wheel will pretty much come off.

Bring it to me at Metro and I'll make sure they get replaced with new ones. ;)

ghettostyle's car may be suffering from this. Whenever you turn the steering wheel, the front right tire makes a loud squeling sound. A local mechanic lubed it up and said he may need the balljoint replaced within the next year. He said the grease keeps coming out and the boot is torn. The recall was already out for 95 talons right?

no get it fixed asap because its one of those things that when it does break, Watch out, put your car out of a commission for a couple of days at the least.
be safe get it fixed ever see a ball joint or a lower arm blow out at about 70 mph? or at 15 mph even

I know, I have seen cars where the wheel has fallen off. We do not want to take it to mitsu or chrysler unless it is a recall matter. One asshole is enough.
