Hi Alex,

I understand that you will go over all of the suspension in the spring. Good plan! However, it were my car I would at least test the ball joint for safety. Will take just a few minutes. It is not something to mess around with. If the ball joint breaks you will lose steering control of your car. IMO - not worth the risk. Better off paying someone to fix it if necessary...

One more thought. Since you mentioned your struts are original they are probably toast too with that many klicks on them. It is pretty much a guarantee that the strut cartridge is toast. I'd also check the strut mount and spring seat for wear. However, these strut parts are not critical safety items like the ball joint. So you can probably wait till spring...
