Re: ball joint replacement questions

Be glad if you don't have inspections, it can be very hard even if you know the ways..
This afternoon the guy doing the inspection failed the car again, he insisted that the whole ball joint be replaced as there was some play if you jerked the wheel really hard.
I went to another inspector, he could not find any play on the ball joints as well. He said the play when jerking the wheel around was from the power steering housing, as this was nearly gone with the engine running...
He said he would let the car pass when I return tomorrow....
