If anyone is out there, your guidance is greatly appreciated. Do front balljoints typically go at 76,000 miles??? I have a 99 9-5 and the front right ball joint just broke, which in turn broke my front right axle. Prior to this occurance I told the dealer that a squeeling sound was coming from the front. I've also experienced the car pulling to the right for the past months, and after numerous tire rotations, the dealer finally replaced the right front strut. The squelling sounds continued and the dealer told me that they couldn't find any problem, that this sound was " normal" My question is this: Is there any way to truly foresee this ball joint from breaking, which in turn broke my axle, and is the dealer not doing their due dilligance in getting the the root of these problems? If this happened when I was on I-95, chances are I wouldn't be here talking to you.
Thank You
