Front and lower ball joint bad
I'm looking at purchasing another mustang and the guy says the front and lower ball joints are bad and need replacing. What is the cost of this and what other parts, if any, can be victimized by these going bad ? Thanks

Maybe upper and lower ball joints. They are both in the front.
How many miles on the Mustang? There are numerous suppliers for the parts for these. You'll just have to check around. Ebay has parts, Amazon has them too. Of course all the parts stores, so you have to check for the best prices. Good luck.

What year is the Mustang you are looking to buy? I think that the S197 only has a lower ball joint on the front as part of the A arm assembly. The Fox body had an upper and lower A arm with ball joint.

Control arms on the uppers (ball joint is part of it) as an assembly. Easy quick change out of these.
