I love the way my truck looks whenever it is cleaned up.
However, I have had so many problems with my truck, it is hard to give a positive review about its performance.
I think whoever had it before beat it up. Ball joints that much? You either drive too fast when you're wheelin' or the spindle hole where the ball joint presses in has been damaged or hollered out.
I think you need to learn how to take care of your truck, remember it's not a FULL SIZE off road truck.
I had the same problem with lower ball joints. After two sets of GM lower ball joints failed, I had premium Moog joints installed, no more problem. GM uses cheap original equipment. I had three rear door latches replaced, they're flimsy. I switched from Ford to GM, big mistake, I'm going back to Ford or maybe even Toyota or Nissan.
