Default Ball Joint awareness
Taken from this 2-GS thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=310895

Not wanting to see this on our LS's, when doing your oil change, make sure you have sufficient grease in the ball joints. I dunno why this seems to occur with the 2-GS with some repeatability.

yea, always a good idea to make sure u dont have a dead LBJ

being that they are relatively cheap/easy to replace i tend to do them on our cars every 60-80k mi.

Glad I recently changed mine. Thankfully that didn't happen to me. Thanks for the post.
