Balljoints

When should ball joints be replaced? Our 2002 ford has 68,000 miles.

When they are determined to be bad. There is no time limit for suspension parts.

had ours replaced this year. 44000 miles. along with all the brake parts up front: rotors, calipers, pads, hoses. less steering wander now. and maybe the new calipers wont stick and crack the rotors. i hope.

1700 bux. cost more than the rv :(

FWIW, 2002 Fords are notorious for the bad ball joints. They are "sealed" and supposedly don't require lubrication. I have a 2002 F250 Diesel CC and replaced them at around the 100,000 mile mark. If you do elect to replace them I would follow the advice I got on the Ford truck forum (Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com), use only MOOG ball joints that have grease fittings and be sure to grease them each and every oil change. I now have 249,000 miles on the truck and they are still going strong! Good luck!
