While I was driving through a parking lot the front right lower ball joint on my 1995 lincoln town car broke and caused the lower control arm to fall to the ground. No one was injured only because of the fact that I was traveling under 15 MPH. When the ball joint failed the car came to an immediate stop. If I had been on the highway instead of a parking lot, I can only imagine the damage/injuries that would have occurred.
The ball joint so my 1995 lincoln town car have fell off the lower controller arm is badly damaged and I get a lot of misfires in the engine is just a lot of stuff this wrong with it
