My original tie rods and ball joints on my 1990 lasted 15 years and 280000 miles. Ball joints tend to fail after the rubber boot tears. I found out the last time I changed BJ's that using a socket and rachet on the strut anchor bolts can actually damage/tear the boot. MOOG came out with a ball joint for the 240 that uses grease fittings and a different boot design. I'm trying them out on one of my 240's.
