The ball joint at the bottom will wear out and cause similar headaches but as that one wears the problems are more subtle as the preload from the spring holds it tight one way mostly.

I cannot get any toe-in no matter what adjustment I do. Even with camber at about -2 degrees, the best I can do is about 3mm toe out for the rear and cannot get any toe in. So I'm a little bit frustrated to say the least.
The wishbone ball joint was replaced I think about two years ago. I noticed I can literally move my rim forward and aft about a mm both ways with all control arm bolts tight by grabbing 6 and 3 o-clock. It might be unrealistic, but I would like to think this shouldn't move at all.
I will undo this wishbone ball joint tomorrow and see how it feels with my hand.
