Front Suspension Lower Ball Joint problems of the 2004 Ford F-250

I have a Ford f250 super duty 4x4 with 94000 miles. I took it to get the tires aligned and was told the upper and lower ball joints were extremely worn. . Read more...

Noticed a clunk in the front end over bumps. Inspected the front suspension and found over 7/16 side to side play in the left lower ball joint, and 3/8 side to side play in the right lower ball joint. I replaced both lower ball joints. I feel this is a very early failure and if left to get worse would cause an accident.

New 04 Ford f250 super duty steering wander at 3000 mi. January went to dealer. No problem found. At 21,000 December went to alignment shop told upper an lower ball joints had 1/6 play should be 0 play need change out to fix front end. Went back to Ford shop . Was told there technician checked upper an lower ball joints all within Ford spec no play found "they lowered air in front tires" please help the wander.
