July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Ball Joint Checking

Raise vehicle so wheels hang freely. Grasp tire by top and bottom edges. Move wheel assembly in and out. Any movement between lower end of knuckle and control arm indicates ball joint wear. If necessary, replace ball joint.
