Hi every one.
I found out the hard way, what the inside of a ball joint looks like.
This happened to me recently and I am worried that it could happen to someone else if they don't get their ball joints checked.
Luckily it happened at low speed. I had control over steering and braking all the way to stopping in a turning lane that is almost never used.
I slid for about 30 meters then the rear driver's side wheel locked up as I was braking to a stop. That wheel didn't have much weight on it and you can see the white skid mark line behind it in the first photo.
At highway speed it would have been a bit more of an adventure trying to stop.
