During vehicle inspection at the time of the last oil change it was pointed out to me that the inner side of the front driver side wheel has been wearing out excessively fast. The mechanic showed me some kind of a joint near the wheel with a lot torn rubber on it. He said it's called the lower ball joint and it needs to be replaced. The cost estimate for this work is in 500s.
My question is, how urgent is this kind of work? I am unemployed right now, and would prefer to get this done about six months later rather than now. However, I plan to make at least one cross country trip. If this is urgent enough, I'll have it fixed now.
