While I respect your opinion and knowledge, my personal experience with replacing ball joints on my '94 9k CSE non-turbo tells a different story. The car has 186k miles on it, and I replaced both ball joints in the last 10k miles. They looked fine, had no noticeable movement when I tried to move the wheel with the car jacked up, but were obvoiusly shot because of the difference in steering and ride after replacement. The crashiness over bumps is almost completely gone, and the steering is much sharper. Well, I can probably attribute the better steering to the replacement of the tie rod ends at about the same time, which are also a good place to look to resolve sloppy steering. Much cheaper to replace the ball joints and tie rod ends than the A-arm bushings, which I did first and had no impact on the ride and handling issues I had.
