- Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:44 am #228437 yea has it cracked off on anybody b4? While driving, etc.

mine just snapped when i was about to start driving, the car dropped a little. Pain in the a$$ but def. an important part to replace on an older car.

I was driving down, coming back home, driving at 100km/h(60mph) and I hear a noise and then tire squeal. The tire went on the inside of the fender which cause it to lock. I don't know how I did it but I manage to put the car on the side of road without going in the ditch.

So if you need new balljoints, go get them replaced as soon as possible cause you might not be as lucky as me buddy.
