So sad. Pretty sure I installed Meyle lower ball joints. Might have
been Febi. Pass. side boot has a hole. Less than 7K km's on it.

I did mistakenly make a "Dukes of Hazard" jump on a dark back road
shortly after install (good test eh?  <grin>) but doubt that caused
it. Boot was installed "unstressed".

So sad.

Neil.
