if its a diesel and its been on ruff roads its possible but all ball joints at 30K have a little movement in a front heavy vehicle such as yours.may not be enough to replace yet get a second opinion
also if its been driven a lot in real wet conditions and left to sit
at long times and not greased etc it can cause premature ball joint failure
