1 Ball Joint problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2014

I was pulling into a stall at the treasure coast mall when we heard a loud thud when I got out to see what it was I seem that the tire was leaning in and pushed under the fender. I then had to call a tow truck and found out later that the left front ball joint completely snapped off and the right side was badly worn and loose and also had to be replaced. I just hate to think what would happen if that would have happend on the highway me and my wife were very shaken up. The car only has 47000 + which seems really strange for this to happen.
