Question. How many miles on the cars with bad/failed ball joints?

I have my '93 in the shop right now to fix up the steering/suspension. We are replacing tie-rods (left, center, right), and control arm bushings. Ball joints are OK, per the shop. It has 130K miles. Symptoms were sloppy steering/wander on the highway, and a bit of a klunk in the drivers side front.
Shop says the struts are so-so, but at their prices I'll live with the OEM struts a while longer.

BTW, I do almost all my own work, but simply don't have time to deal with this now, and it cannot wait. I am simply shocked and astounded at the cost of having a top quality shop work on the car. It makes me realize why people simply buy a new Honda every 4 years.
