While it is mildly noticeable (a slight clunk while turning in a parking lot), mechanic reported that it has no bearing on longevity or maintainability. Les Schwab can order metal sheaths if desired at roughly $300. Opted to live with it. |

Driver side upper control arm which includes the upper ball joint assembly was worn. I was told by tire shop that it was a little loose and should be replaced.

Figured it was easier to do this replacement while I had vehicle jacked up and it was accessible. |
