Toyota: Lower Ball Joints shot in 4,000 miles!

Sure - they might have been marginal at 100k --- if you
added larger tires that could stress them too. I wouldn't
complain at over 100k. Parts are $75 each or so for OEM
ones. You would do both upper and lower and perhaps the tie
rods -- and throw in the mandatory alignment. Option use
questionable non-OEM parts and/or do the job yourself.

I understand what you are saying. So I need to go to a reputable
(Hamilton, ON) alignment shop to verify. And
1. They are OK - "sit, bad dealer"
or
2. They are shot and the $80k machine and poorly trained technicians
didn't catch it.
sound right?
