This corrosion, acting much like contamination, can also lead to premature wear and separation of the ball joint.  This could result in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash.  Correction:  Lower lateral arm ball joints will be inspected for wear and replaced as necessary with newly designed lower lateral arm ball joints.
