Toyota ball joint failure
« on: March 14, 2021, 07:27:18 PM »
All on pavement

Why would a company engineer these to fail like this?

Imagine if they weren’t on pavement?

I’ve owned lots of Toyota’s over the years. A couple million miles on all of them combined. Never once have I ever had a problem with ball joints :twocents:

You must have something against Toyota? This isn’t your first thread about a Toyota issue. Kinda like kicking a dead horse.

It's not an issue with Toyota that is concerning.

It’s a promise I made to Toyota when they completely screwed me on the leaf spring reimbursement with a complete set of receipts and years of documentation and they laughed and said ‘Koolaid drinkers will buy our crap anyway’.
That and peoples’ unwillingness to admit facts (not feelings).
Like arguing with Libs.

The problem is that literally millions of people have facts that Toyotas are reliable rigs.  You're the one going off feelings because you're butt hurt Toyota didn't do what you wanted.  The impact of your "promise" to them is near zero I'm thinking!

Something is near zero.  I can't quite put my finger on it, though.

You also have to keep in mind Toyota sold 2.4 million vehicles in North America in 2018 compared to say Ford that sold 5.9 million in North America.

That's why it's an average of per 100 vehicles not total #'s
