Ball joint wear? Whats acceptable
« on: May 04, 2017, 12:15:05 PM »
My passeger side is good but the driver side moves a little. You cant hear it hit when you check them but put you hand on the tire and you can feel it slightly. Will an alignment hold

Any movement is no good and any reputable shop will not align it with worn parts
