the ball joints were going bad? I've heard lowering a car makes them wear faster, and I lowered my camaro 1.5 inches over two years ago. Just getting a little concerned.

 

When mine were bad they were poping sometimes while turning the wheel while the car is at rest


Also they will be really slopy.. very easy to move in all positions "they kinda just fall almost"

...BTW I have had my Z droped 2" for two years now, I changed the Joints same time I did the drop and the rest of the susp. still fine here

Hope that helps
