previously diagnosed by the "perceptible movement"
standard. Before requiring or suggesting any parts be
replaced based on "perceptible movement," consult your
repair manual to determine if OEM specifications exist.
You are not required to replace ball joints in axle sets.
However, when replacing a ball joint due to wear exceeding
manufacturer's specification, you may suggest replacement of the other
ball joint if its measurement shows it is close to the end of its
useful life, for preventive maintenance.
