What would make ball joints constantly go bad. I recently had my driver side ball joint changed twice and now its going bad again. also when i press the brake with the steering wheel in the same position my car goes from going straight to going to the right. When I come off of the brake it goes back to going straight. Also when i push the brake with my wheel turned to the left at low speeds it feels like my wheel *shoot* in and out. Any Ideas.

They could be a bad batch or just junk. It's known to happen.

Learn from the mistakes of others, that way when you mess up you can do so in new and interesting ways.

I'd go somewhere else and get a Moog.

Check the rest of the suspension, struts, tie rod ends, steering rack, and all the bushings.

Everything else is good. My tie rods are new and so are my struts. Bushings seem to be fine also. Is there any auto parts store that sells Moog suspension parts
