Do the wheels fall of with worn ball joints?

[petes2k]

hi, im new here, looks like a top place!

Just took my 89 prelude 4ws in for a service and the mechanic tells me all 4 lower ball joints are worn out and says it'll cost $900 to replace them. If i dont he says, the wheels could fall off taking corners etc. IS THIS TRUE? is it possible? coz thats just horrible! or is he trying to swindle a thousand bucks out of me?

thanx heaps in advance, any help greatly appreciated

change mechanics....



tell him to eat a dick

its worn... doesnt meant its broken... even if its completly snapped (unheard of) your wheels still wont proabably fall off...
