yeah well my cars only got 34000 miles on it and the ball joints are gone on the front. luckily should still be under warranty its a 2008 V6.
Any other big things I should have checked out on my car considering it only has two thousand miles left on warranty? any other classic ford problems? Id appreciate it thanks.

So do you drive on rough roads or washboard roads? just curious as to what has caused the problem.

Mine were replaced at 37,000.

One of the techs at my dealer said they've seen these cars come in with bad ball joints at like 10,000 miles.

Sounds like a design issue to me. I guess thats what we get with a new platform!

There is a TSB for this. They will replace the entire control arm with larger ball joints. Get it done while under warranty or it will cost about $1,000 out of pocket.
