Hmmm... I'm at a total loss here, the guy at the steering place says everything looks fine. The balljoint that popped out is completely dry and the other one has bugger all grease in it. He reckons that they may not have been greased enough at the factory - except that it's the 4th one (and the 3rd brand). This makes me really hesitant to drive the thing.

Has anybody else been having similar problems?

G'day!

I have a '77 SWB CF and the passenger side lower balljoint lasts as little as a year. It's just broken the 4th one and I have no idea why. Each time the joint is very dry even though the rubber boot is in good condition. The front is lowish from the weight of a 350 Chev and it's a daily driver (approx 10,000 kms a year) but I would expect to get more than that from it. I don't really know if the driver's side balljoint lasts much longer because I change both each time. Any ideas anybody? Thanks in advance.

Cheers
