swap and rotate wheel from front to back. this will eliminate rims and tires. from there check the front end susp and i would start with tie rods

That's cool. They're junk anyway. Either use a 19mm socket on a 1/2" breaker bar or torque wrench or get a 4 way lug wrench.

ok..yea i picked up a 7/8 impact socket for the lug nuts..i tried a 22m on them and it was close and a 7/8 is a tiny bit bigger so hopefully it will fit them correctly..

back to the ball joint..could they really be bad at 81k?..cause it didnt do this bad wobble at low speeds when i got it 4 weeks ago..
