Said vehicle is in my sig. 2wd.
A few years ago (30K miles maybe) i have bad tire wear on the inside; got a computerized alignment and the shop owner said it was 'borderline' not able to be aligned.
This was done @ a 'real garage'
I now have the same issue and the front end has started to groan and squeak; Quick web search seems to indicate ball joints.
My questions are
Is this the correct diagnosis
Should I have both sides replaced? Are there other things to replace 'while in there?'
Should I request a particular brand, OEM probably in this case obviously not 'best'
Not dumping the vehicle in the next decade if I can help it; it is about a 10-12K miles/year and my wood hauler/backup ride.
Any other tips would be appreciated.
