Default 1998 Mustang GT, broken ball joint

well i was on my way home. heard a loud creaking from the front right figured it was the ball joint ive greased them before i just made a turn and right when i straightened up the wheel going about 10mph boom. front right side of my car slams down on the fender and wheel locks up and start sliding right. had to get it towed home luckily no damage to anything.

well we replaced both ball joints today, not that bad of a job with the right tools. he said its a lot smoother now. I am just glad he was not on the bypass running 65 when it let go.....
