How do I know when the ball joints on my 1999 pontiac grand am are worn out? I have had two tire blow outs on my front tires in the last year, and it seems like the tires are wearing out unevenly

I dont think worn ball joints are going to give you blow outs. They can cause uneven wear. Just take the car and have an alignment done, and if they are worn, the shop will let you know.

Put the car in park turn down the radio so you can hear and just turn the wheel from side to side if you hear squeaks it’s the ball joint
