You needed a ball joint because it wiggles laterally. That means it's not good. You really trust your ball joint to hold up when a skinny white dude wiggles it and sees more than a half inch of play?

Give yer balls joints a tug.

No, I didn’t need a ball joint. I have in other cars. And tie rod ends. In this case VT tire just wanted money. Had a coworker bring their 8 month old Subaru there for work. They were told they needed front suspension parts. VT Tire uses Montpelier’s ignorant white collar population as an easy target to upsell
