I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra with 39,000 miles on it. I was going 15-20 mph and aproaching a on ramp to the highway when my front drivers side ball joint snapped. I had my 4 month old son in the car with me. Luckily I was able to stop without getting into a accident but wonder what would have happened if we were on the highway. Toyota said I must have hit something in order for it to fail and refused to contact the NHTSA and refused to cover the expense of having it fixed. $1900.

Design defect regarding drive shaft lubrication. The flange or base of the universal joint bearing overrides the base of the alemite fitting making it impossible to get a tight fitting. When attempting to lube the bearings the grease just squirts around the fitting and not in.
