I have a 2010 Fusion S (very basic) with 150K miles on it. The boots on all the lower ball joints are torn so I was going to replace them. Other boots on things like tie rod, upper ball joint look OK but I'm not sure if they will last or if the joint is worn underneath. Anyone know the life expectancy of the front end components including the struts? Ride didn't feel too bad - just noticed problem when I was rotating tires. ( I was getting what sounded like a lot of tire noise after about 17K on my new Michelins). Was thinking of going with OEM parts but any suggestions on that front are welcome as well.
Thanks
Ed
