My ball joint just broke when I was driving, my question is should it have been found out that it was braking if I had front end work done? What I had donje is they were supposed to replace the inner and outer tie rods,on 4/18/05, they said I need these things done, so on 6/14/05 I came in to have the work done, they replaced yhe idler arm due to bushings coming apart, they said that my inner and outer tie rods were fine. My question is shouldn't they have noticed that my ball joiunt was cracked or something? What I don't get is on 4/18/05 they inspected the inner and outer tie rods and said they need to be replaced, then on 6/14/05 they said that they were fine!!
