safety inspection...lower ball joints ??
so i had to get the rig "safety inspected" to get it registered here in Canada...since im new to the area it was kinda shot in the dark to try to find an "honest" mechanic to do the inspection....anyways he says the lower ball joints are shot...i crawled under there to take a look...no grease..no tears...jacked up the front end and tried the push pull method and both wheels felt solid...no play...anything else to check to see why he says they are shot...or is he just a lying SOB ??? bad part of the deal is that unless i replace them within 10 days i gotta pay for another inspection...any advice is appreciated...thanks

Nice to see another "Ontario" ride.
Where you at?
I think you're about #5 from Ontario on this forum. Maybe we gotta get our own stickers!!! Or just go wheeling!
