PHAD: Wife's Nissan Rogue ball joints

Short story: car has like 230k (yes I think he replaced/rebuilt the CVT). One of the front ball joints went at 196k. He replaced with Napa which were made in Japan. Left one lasted about 30k. Torn boot. Likely the torn boot killed it. So he replaced that with a Moog made in Mexico. Country of origin of replacement parts is not a guarantee of quality.

But the real reason I am posting this is this comment:
Sir Ivan, If there's ONE THING I've learned in my 33 years of marriage is " DRIVE YOUR WIFES VEHICLE AT THE LEAST ONCE A MONTH " also check the fluids & tire pressure weekly if possible. Most women have not a clue about vehicles or to check anything other then putting gas in it. SORRY but R.I.P. MY BRIDE.
Of course that could be because no one taught them but still, his point is well taken. I have made that comment multiple times about our SRX.
