Front ball joints are wearing excessively due to a lack of lubricant. New ball joints do not require lubrication. Mechanic refuses to replace old ball joints with newer ball joints.

Ball joints should last for 100,000 miles this along with the tires in question should make you look at Ford for the current tire failures. If I had not went to Firestone to get the tires checked I would have had a blowout on the front and blamed it on the tires. I took the car to a Ford dealer and they told me that it was not there problem that the ball joints are bad but at this time I am dealing with Ford Motor Co. To get the situation resolved.( dot number: Tire size: P235/75/15 )
