Can't figure out why this is happening. I have now gone through 2 set of front LCA's in <2yr period. The ball joint is letting go. First set was off eBay. Worked pretty good for almost a year. Then both side the ball joint died. I just replaced them again in December buying lifetimes from parts source (Moog). Right one lasted about a month and now drivers side is on its way out. They have lifetime warranty which is all fine and good. But it's not fun changing these plus I'll have to dish out another 100 clams for an alignment.
Anyone else have this issue???
I'm on coils but when I change them again in the next few weeks I'm putting all stock stuff back in.

Moog should be lasting. I'm going to point to the fact that you're lowered. The angle of the ball joint will be substantially different than in OEM height. You're probably prematurely wearing out the cup since it's not in it ideal position.

That's sort of what I was suspecting too hence why I'm putting it back to stock.
Just thought that seeing as many peeps on here lowered that someone else may have same issue. Guess we shall see.
