Im in a small town in the mountains, yesterday the truck squeak when I turn the wheels, and a local mechanic said it's the balljoints. he jacked up the truck and showed me the ball joints, the lower one's kinda worn, and it's a little sloppy. I'm 500 miles from home. The mechanic said there's no way to tell how far i can drive with these ball joints, he's like "probablly, i don't know, anything can happen". it's very expensive here to fix the ball joints, auto parts need to be shipped here from 200miles away.
the squeak noise started yesterday,
Today there's no more squeak and i wonder if it's safe to drive the truck home with bad balljoints?(500miles)
Should I stop every 2 hours on road, or just keep driving until filling up gas
