Just wondering if anyone else here has had ball joints go at 25000 km?
My 2019 GT just had the drivers side replaced.
Is this a thing with Mustangs these days? Am I in for regular replacement?

Willing to wager that ball joint was an outlier from the left side of the curve. Wouldnt worry much about it.

Typically you see the pass side fail first, would not read anything into it.

My 17 needed one of the left side joints replaced earlier this year at about 32,000 km, but it does get leaned on a bit at track days too which isn't going to help. LOL


cheers

And why would one side typically go before another side.

Curb side of the road is usually rougher.
