Used oil analyses (UOA) support the computations of maintenance
minders, per

http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/TechnologyDevelopment/OPPTD_FLY_High-Efficiency-Oil-Filters.cfm

http://www.flmowner.com/Storage/CommonImages/images/IOLM%20FAQ.pdf

http://www.ganoa.org/Motor_oil2.htm

UOA has been used for decades in other transportation industries and
is a proven method of maximizing machinery life while minimizing the
expense of oil changes.

Hi, 52,000 miles. This became obvious yesterday. It may have been
happening for a while because it literally sounds like a bird chirping.
But, it got louder in the past day or so if it was already happening. I
did wack a recessed manhole cover the night before with the left wheel, but
the impact didn't seem excessive enough to be concerned about.

It will happen going 5mph over, say, pothole patches or driveway entrances,
that kind of thing. Any ideas?

The more I read, the more I keep seeing lower ball joint...which is why I'm
driving a lot slower :) I do have an appt with the dealer (this isn't
under warranty).

If ball joint is the diagnosis, can just the one knuckle be replaced or do
they have to be replaced in pairs?

Know any good independent shops for that around Albany, NY?
