It happens...especially if you get a bushing that won't take grease, or if you fail to grease them regularly.

Also..!!

Driving, suspension and weather conditions will factor in. Scotty will know best have short time with these critters...:dontknow:

Be sure and grease the new ones on the inside of the bushings also, I don't think there is a way for the grease to get in there as there are no holes in the bushing. The 2013 models are really easy to get to the fittings now, I have already given my ST a little more grease just in case they missed one.

It could also be alignment

If you just consider them as a wear item that needs monitoring and occasional replacement; it's a bit easier... :shocked:

Usually a problem on one wheel indicates a suspension wear or damage issue. Toe-out/in affects both sides.

Alignment

I am having issues with my "ball joints". I thought I could get them replaced at Pit Bull's at Spyderfest but now my front
tires are wearing. I will need to them replaced and new tires before Spyderfest. I have 60,000mi on my 2010RT so I am
not overly concerned.
