If you chose to let it go - check and grease it more often... both to replace grease that leaks out - and the fresh grease will push out any contaminants.

Not sure if you can just get a replacement boot - if you can - can extend the life of that joint. But still have to take apart the ball joint to replace the boot. The 'fork' tool to separate the joint is a requirement for cars - and I suspect even more so here. Tried doing tie rod ends on an old Dodge without it - gave up and rented the tool which then took about 30 seconds to separate it.

I expect it will be a pricey repair to have done - unless your warranty or service plan will cover.

Looks like Ill be contacting Ford for warranty work. Thanks Think Ill crawl
back under there tomorrow to make sure all the other ones are ok.
