Description of the problem	The drivers side front suspension ball joints gave way as i was driving at 75mph on interstate 40 west in texas at mile marker 14. The entire wheel, break, and axle assembly detatched at hi speed. The break line was severed. The assembly folded under the truck and i skidded on the wheel with little control until i could maneuver off of the interstate and maintain an upright position with the vehicle. The twisted tie rod kept the tire and wheel assembly from completely separating from the vehicle. The weather was light snow with a temperature of about 34 degrees. Time was appx 9. 50 am. The truck was repaired without comment by street toyota of amarillo, texas at a cost of appx. $ 2,200. The dealer said there was an inordinate amount of wear on the front end steering components.
