Everyone check your ball joints even if you think that they are ok. I had the right lower one pop out yersterday when I had checked them just a week before. Luckly I was only moving at about 10mph when it went. Heck I thought that I had blown a tire by the way that it felt. This is the first time that I have ever had to call a tow truck to get me home in 45 years of driving. Most of the time I was able to fix it up enought top get back but not this time. Heck no one carries an extra ball joint. I will be replacing all of them as well as the tie rods as well. I hate to think what would have happened if I had been running along at 60mph when it went.
