OH....my ball joints..

Well my ball joints are acting up again for the third time. I'm hearing little squeeks coming from the front of the car when I go over bumps or turn the steering wheel. The first two times acura just lubricated the ball joints, but the noise came back after about 4000 miles. I hope they do some real work this time and not just lubricate them. Does anyone else have this ongoing issue??...it's starting to get annoying.

....and my heated seat broke right at the start of the cold season....fargin' TL..

lubing a bad ball joint is like putting a bandaid on it. it may need to be just replaced

How are they lubing them? I thought we had those ball joints without the grease fitting.

How much is it to replace the ball joints? I might need to replace one of them since my car squeaks over bumps and when I turn the steering wheel.

How urgent is it to replace these?
