Lowering a Car put extra stress on Upper Ball Joints???????????
Hey guys i was wondering if lowering a car puts extra stress on the upper ball joint my car has been lowered for about 6 years and today i noticed alot of play in the upper ball joint. Is it from the car being lowered or is it cause the car is a 12 year old car with the same upper control arm?

its an old car give it a break.
being lowered can put more stress on things from being stiffer.

Yesssurrr. Balljoints are not meant to sit with that much camber. Especially 12 year old ones. Just get an OEM replacement. Dont waste your $$ on a camber kit. Go to a junkyard and get control arms for $20. Thats what i did. And look at me. Im young, rich, good looking. Got a great job...girlfriend is a supermodel. Yeah...im awful rad.
