I have 105,000 miles on my Honda Accord and have been advised that the front lower ball joints should be replaced. I have not noticed any problem with the way my car rides. Do I have to replace the ball joints immediately or can I wait? Is there some noise or vibration that I should notice that will signal the right time to replace?

Thanks,

Nick

they wear only so much then they break. If you want to take the chance of your front end smashing to the ground and possibly hitting a pedestrian or another car then that is up to you. We can only advise when something is bad and needs replacing.
