Your car has 25K miles? Or are you saying the ball joints had 25K miles on them?

Anyway, big props on doing the maintenance first before dumping money on mods. Maintenance comes first .

Why change lower ball joints at 25k?? My car has 137k and I'm just now thinking about changing them, even though my mechanic (a former Lexus tech who has his own shop now) says there not that bad yet. He's seen 1 break in his 15 years at Lexus. I'm really **** with maintenance on my car but I also don't like to waste money on parts I don't need yet. I guess the ball joint's breaking have people pretty worried.
