Two problems related to front suspension lower ball joint have been reported for the 1996 Buick Roadmaster. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The lower control arm ball joint broke off when I started to drive the car in a parking lot on October 31, 2006. I had to have a new lower arm and ball joint installed on the car since a bolt had sheared holding the ball joint to the arm. Buick had a previous recall on this, but my car was supposedly built with a later serial number. I have the broken assembly stored in my garage.
Driving on san pablo dam rd just past appian way at about 30-35 mph the right ft tire folded up under the car the lower ball joint failed and snapped in half.
