Subject:Upper ball jont noise and symptoms
From:John Lauterbach <jhlauterbach@BELLSOUTH.NET>

What does a worn upper ball joint sound like?  Have sound like a worn
rubber bushing from right side of van every time van goes over slightest
bump, etc.  Does not happen on sharp left turns.  I thought I had loose
shock absorber, but upper shock absorber nut is tight.  If I have bad
ball joint, what can happen if I do not get to it for a few weeks?

Lower ball joints done a few years ago, but was told upper ones okay and
unused ball joints returned to me by shop that did work.
