How many street driven miles would you normally expect before the joints need to be replaced? (Street driven miles includes plenty of potholes and occasional wet pavement conditions.) Thanks for any info you might have.
On my last set of Auroras I had an Upper control arm one and and steering end link one that had started to wear our, so I replaced every heim in the system. I ran no rubber caps total mileage was a kiss over 16,000. I installed all those ones in April of 2010 and swapped them out in November of 2011. Those heims had:
-2 Mopars at the Strip Autocrosses (~700 runs)
--Driven 700 miles round trip each time from San Diego
-6 Good Guys Auto Crosses (~15 runs each show, plus the editors shootout; 18 complete strangers driving my car
)
--Car driven to most of these events; 300-900 miles round trip)
-Spectre 341 Hillclimb
--Driven round trip ~1500 miles
-2 American Street Car Series Events
-And the car was my Daily driver while we were doing R&D and most of these events; 80 miles a day commute in SoCal
