warn balljoints on 407

No way, no bumpy roads or anything, just ordinairy road.
I drive a lot on motorway, and as far as I know, there is no speed ramps.

I suspect I have a similar problem with my 407. Only 27k miles, but I
get occasional clonks from the front end, usually when accelerating or
braking. And I do regularly drive over speed bumps (although to at
excessive speed), they are everywhere around here. There is also a
half mile of potholed drive I have to negotiate to get to the car park
at work.

I plan to get mine looked at before the warranty runs out in a couple
of months.

Are you really saying that Peugeot build cars than cannot cope with
modern road conditions in the UK?

As in unepaired roads, more potholes than the middle ages and so on?

I remember when I was working on the Isle of Wight back in 1989 a friend of
mine telling me that he was getting through headlight bulbs on his motorbike
at a rate of knots. Apparently the Honda rep from the mainland was in the
shop at the time and having just ridden on the island's roads declared
himself "not bloody surprised".

I think its a handy cop out for the government not to spend money repairing
roads, fortunately for them car suspension, steering and braking has
improved so much over the years that the average road user does not realise
just how bad a condition the roads are in.
Around my way parts of the A10 has been re-surfaced but its been done in
such a poor cheap way.
It looks good and seems ok until you actually drive on it. You can feel the
surface of the tarmac rolling from side to side and lots of little humps in
it. Its even worse on a motorbike.
You can see just how bad the surface is when it rains.
I must admit though, I am surprised that car bulbs last as long as they
actually do.

Looking at the parts list they basically replaced much of the front
suspension of mine under warranty. That must have been at about 15000
miles. It was creaking very loudly when braking at low speed or going over
minor bumps such as when maneuvering in a rough car park.
