    All,
    My 360 has 37800 miles and has had all the ball joints done on the front suspension as well as the anti-roll bar (sway bar) drop links.

    It is beautifully quiet on uneven roads, FINALLY!

    I am now wondering if anyone has had to replace the rear ball joints or roll bar links? I have no noises or play from the rear end, but am just wondering whether its a potential problem area like the front end?

    The front ball joints are subjected to swivel and rotational turning whereas its just swivel for the rears. Should result in a lot less wear in my book.

    You've just about summed it up. The rears last longer for the reason you state.

    How many miles did the car have on it when you first noticed noise and play in the front suspension?
    Thanks,

    I changed all of the front ball joint on my Scuderia at 7500 miles, this seems quite "normal". The rear is still ok at 13000 miles. Changed the fronts to Hill Engineering version, no more problem since...
