BTW, I follow the horror stories on this list about replacing these ball joints, but I had no problems at all swapping mine out at ~170k miles. Perhaps that is due to the California climate.

Yeah!? Life is tough in California hey? I spent some time working in SF in the Embarcadero Center and I could see the bay and the bridge from my window. You guys have it tough out there, lovely climate, beautiful country, nice people.
London right now, its grey, dark, cold and everyone is pi$$ed off with each other as we are crawling over each other like rats due to tube strikes.... anyway... yes you bloody ball joint probably walked out by themselves... in England the like to rust in there super tight.
