how many miles on ball joints???

Just curious how miles everyone is getting before replacing their ball joints, the first time for me was at 52000 then again 32000 miles later.

The Dealership replaced mine under warranty at 35K. I went to a private shop to have it aligned and they told me they couldnt even come close to aligning it due to how bad they were...

Check my sig.....factory ball joints on mine did not have a zerk, went back with ones that do, and they get greased at every oil change. I'm at 86K miles now, we'll see how long these last.

The factory joints on our '07 only lasted 25k, but I'm pretty sure that was mostly due to a PO-installed DW starter kit.

129K so far on the originals. I've been reading some threads here though thinking it should be coming due at some point soon. It sounds like XRF seems to be the favored brand right now...yes?
