Lower ball joint
The other day I noticed I had picked up a nail or screw in my tire. I was readying myself to remove the wheel and take it down to be patched. It turns out I had a short sheet metal screw in the tread that was only about 3/16" long. I thought I dodged a bullet there; not so fast. While I had each front wheel jacked up and turning the wheel by hand to check for any other things in the tread I also rocked the wheel back and forth. The pass. side is tight but the driver's side has about 1/8" of play. A closer inspection revealed a split in the boot of the lower driver's side ball joint. I wasn't looking forward to any projects like this right now.
