had a wabble in the front so i finally lifted my truck to find that my lower ball joint was bad.... man what a pain in the butt that was to replace. i just decided to do my brakes while everything was apart anyways. but now it has a slight pull to the right, only sometimes when braking. a friend said it might be an alignment cause he had the same problem on a different car when the ball joint was replaced. idono though what are your guys thoughts.
 
If you change ball joints, it is always good practice to have an alignment done. Just for your safety and the safety of those who are on the road with you. Even if you only change a single ball joint (bad practice) you can throw the caster (I may be wrong on the term) off causing a pull.
