this post reminded me of a story. I deliver commercial parts for Advance. Recently one customer had a nice (relatively speaking) '18 Chevy Silverado. Ball joints SHOT at 30 some thousand miles. Local dealer says 'normal wear" and won't warranty them. I know it's 3 yrs old but the truck looked basically new. No wonder folks buy "foreign" cars nowadays.
My parents have a Ford Fusion that one of the control arms was replaced not too long ago because of excessive ball joint play so not all dealers/North American makes are bad. Warranty wise anyway. No comment on ball joint being bad so soon.
