[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2938529, member: 118823"] Steel can be faulty. Put a new ball joint in a 1/2 ton Chevy. I did it. It was done right. Torqued correctly etc. About 6 months later the tapered bolt part snapped in half. Just so thankful the boys and I were driving 20mph when it happened and it was on partial snow. The wheel wedged up against the cab. Tackett said hey dad it you get the tire over on the edge of the road it will slide on the snow. So I drove it about half mile to a local mom and pop repair shop. Hate to think what it may have looked like it if I was running 80 in traffic on an interstate when it broke. [/QUOTE]
