Ball Joints are aftermarket and less than 6 months old. They've been under quite a few death wobble episodes since their install while I've tried to sort out the suspension issues on this car. The car has no more death wobble and I can't articulate the wheels off the ground side to side of in and out so I wouldn't think I've blown them out just yet. The wheels are definitely on to torque. Wheel hubs have never been replaced. This car has less than 10k miles on it. Would there be something specific I'd be looking for?The sine of 1 degree is .017". If you said your tires were 30" diameter, 1 degree difference would be .51" (1/2").
If you said your balljoints are about 10" apart, they would have a total of about 1/3rd of the amount of the tire movement or about .17" (almost 3/16").
These inspections indicate something like your ball joints or hubs are worn out, wheels are loose or their machine has a serious lack of repeatability.
With all that being said the car seems to be driving just fine. Drove it 90mph down the interstate this AM with no vibrations, pull, or shimmy. I'm hesitant to go after things like this with all the problems I've already have with this car.
