With 2500 miles my balls joints had a small amount of play but I found both uppers to have pinched/destroyed seals! I have a leveling kit that only offers 1.5" of lift in the front but it appears to be enough to pinch the ball joint seals between the spindle and upper a-arm. I am also running the Cognito spindles so it may not be as big a factor with stock spindles but if you are replacing bearings you may want to give them a good look over. Let us know what you find? Anyone else found this?
