Ball Joint Problems of GMC Terrain

I was having the struts and shocks looked at in my car. While the worker finished the job, he put the car down and took it for a test drive to make sure it was good to go. One that test drive, he said something did not seem correct. After he got it back to the shop and back on the rack, the frame was cracked and rusted through. This was not the case when my car was previously worked on by getting a new ball joint back in the fall of 2019.

The vehicle was in motion making a right hand turn and in the turn the operator lost control of the vehicle causing her to strike a curb then head for oncoming traffic. When it was all said and done it looked like the ball joint had failed causing the loss of control. A bystander said he heard a loud pop and looked up and witnessed the vehicle slide into the curb and then see the front left tire lock up and the vehicle come to a stop.
