yo, I had two of my ball joints replaced without having any accidents. These cars have very weak ball joints, you can find other posts where people complained about them. I had numerous problems with my CV and ball joints, they suck.

my CVs were replaced after 35K due to "whining" on acceleration....... they still do it.

i'm sure the ball joints will go eventually, especially after the Neuspeed springs go on next weekend

How would one know if the ball joints where broken? I keep hearing this weird rumbling comming from the passanger side when i go over speed bumps. Could that be from a shitty ball joint?
