hi, I've replaced the ball joint twice in the last year. Does anyone know if this is a common thing on corsa's or is it a symptom of some other bigger problem :eek:

How many miles on the new BJ? eh I mean Ball joint?
If you replaced it with a spurious one it could be the fault. Sometimes the spurious stuff is made from chocolate.
If genuine part dealer might make donation to your second one...

ive prob done about 8000 miles since the last replacement. Im not sure were the mechanic got the part from. Is a ball socket replacement considered a big job or routine?
