Default lower ball joints

how can you really tell when your lower ball joint is poped


i was making a left turn about 3 weeks ago and had to slam on the brakes and with my supra brakes you know the clamping force is tight

at that moment i thought i heard a pop and ever since then the fron t end does not seem the same, car tends to wander more and the vibrations around 65 seem more apparent , and just tonight making a quick lane change doing about 100 i felt the left tire give some understeer


anyone know how to change to lower ball joint

Sounds like you may have popped off an endjoint of one of the swaybars....check the sway bar linkages.
