Lucky break... For you.. lol... Just kidding. Better in there then on the highway. Nice job.

For whatever reason, those ball joint failures seem to always happen during low speed maneuvers, regardless of vehicle make.  I've noticed a lot of older GM trucks lose that lower ball joint trying to turn into driveways.  They're good for about 300K miles or so on those units and they give lots of warning before they let go...if one pays attention to all that negative camber pointing out the issue!

Occured at local hospital employee parking garage.  Ball joint broke backing out of parking space.

We see a lot on NJ cars with failures like this since they stopped the State safety Inspections...it may not be safe to drive but you can breath from the tail pipe! LoL
