Hi there I've recently fitted 2 new ball joints and they have gone after a month or two. Is there anything that could be causing them to go easier? Knackered hubs? Anything like that maybe?
Thanks!

i guess if tracking is way out it won't help, did you buy silly cheap ones? . .

I've had tracking done, checked the hubs and they don't look the best so gonna get some new hubs and ball joints! Would I benefit from changing them to the gti6 ones as I'm changing them? And they were quite cheap so gonna buy abit dearer ones cause you pay for what you get?
