Hi, quick question to see if anyone else has experienced this. Will start by saying our 2001 build incorporated a large number of Slee products and I’m a big fan of the company, so this a very part-specific and not about Slee overall in any way. I have reached out to them on this but haven’t heard back, so thought I’d see if anyone here has run into this issue.
We have their upper control arms to accommodate the slight lift we’re running, and have really limited miles on them, maybe 8000 total or less. The truck went in for an unrelated issue this week that had me stumped, and the shop did a multi point check and is telling me the ball joints have totally failed. I haven’t gone in to see it with my own eyes yet but they insist they’re properly torqued but completely shot and loose. Has anyone else seen this happen, like maybe there was a bad batch of joints from a supplier? And I can’t remember, is that a replaceable ball joint?
I’m one step removed from this whole deal because my son owns the truck now and brought it in, so just trying to make sense of it and help get it resolved. Attaching a few pics they sent - I don’t see much other than the grease outside the boots, but that doesn’t really tell me anything without being able to check for play. Do you see anything visually?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
