clicking upper ball joint..how long before.
i just dropped my gs300 with some tanabe nf210's and noticed that my passenger side upper ball joint is now clicking when i hit a a bump or go into a dip pretty fast. Is it dangerous to drive it like that? Or should i ask what will happen? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Things other than the sound will be fine, you may even forget there is a problem...Until one day your front end will drop out and it will cost yuou major $$$.
I drove like that (worn upper ball joint) for a long time, I got it replace on my own terms and didn't wait till I was forced to replace that and many othert components.
I got a upper control arm on e-bay, brand new for $150 USD shipped to Canada. For such little money, just get it fixed.

yeah if you get someone to push down hard enough on the front end and look at the upper ball joint, you can see where the clicking is coming from. yeah i saw on ebay that they go for about $150.00
