New ball joints needed at 30,000 miles?

We have a 2012 Ram 2500. Just turned 30,000 miles. Brought it in for a recall and oil change, and found that both upper and lower ball joints are shot. Does that seem right? We only haul our 5th wheel about 300 miles total per year. That's the only workout our truck gets.

  • We have it at a local shop that we trust. We'll see what he says, but my husband did say when the guy at the dealer showed him, there was play in the ball joints.
  • Not right in my experience with two Rams. I'd get another opinion from a front-end guy I trusted.
