An Aero rim and 205/50-16 tire weigh roughly 9 pounds more than a stock rim/tire. If you're on rough roads, running stiff shocks, heavier wheels, and heavier, stiff-sidewalled tires, I think it stands to reason that you could be beating on the balljoints harder than usual. Maybe the craptastic Aero offset is hurting the balljoints, too?? They stick out an inch more than stock.
