I believe ya, just seems strange, I have never had a ball joint work fine one day and be completely shot the next.

I am not saying that replacing all of the rear suspension bushings and arms wouldn't solve the problem and improve the ride, but do most of you treat the suspension in the same way....?

Meaning if one ball joint goes out, you replace all of the suspension components? Or if the tie rod goes out in the front, you replace both tie-rods, all bushings, control arms etc..?

Typically I, and I think most others (maybe not), replace "wear items" as they fail...?
