Hi everyone,
I have an 04 EB with 154,500 miles that is starting to wander and drift a little. It seems to follow undulations in the road more than it used to. Additionally, I am starting to feel the road bumps in the brake pedal and steering wheel. It feels like little taps. They are barely perceptible, but present. I suspect ball joints and/or tie rod ends. I haven't had the chance to inspect it yet as I in the middle of replacing the burnt out R303 fuel pump relay. I need to do a brake job, so I'll inspect it then.
My question to y'all is how miles did you get out of your suspension before you had to replace ball joints, control arms, tie rod ends, sway bar links, struts? If you had bad ball joints, did you replace the whole control arm? What else did you replace while you had the suspension apart? If I do have a bad part(s), I'm trying to get a feel for what are the, "must dos" while I have it apart.
Thanks,
Ken
