I re-read all of the old threads and couldn't find the real answer to this question: when do you need to replace the ball joints? should you do it on GPs when you change the front shocks? is there a visual inspection to look for to tell you when they NEED replacing?

I'm going to be doing the front shocks soon, but don't *really* want to do the ball joints until they need it... it's a pain on every vehicle, and it looks to be a double pain on the teener!

I read the tech article on paragon on replacing front shocks, and they never mention doing the ball-joints...

what about tie-rod ends? any other safety issues I should check out while I'm under there again?
