I would start the search in the accounting departments.....

A rivet costs less than a bolt and nut during initial manufacturing for an assembled part to the assembly line. Less likely to fail in the field also.

Higher profit for service also. A arm is more expensive than a ball joint so more profit. Higher standard hours to replace an arm than just the ball joint.

Win for both sides of corporate. The customer is irrelevant in this scenario because bolt on ball joints are not part of the sales hype.

Looks like a pretty good steak... But that ssause Definetally doesnt belong on the same plate. Ive always been of the mind that a good steak should only need salt and pepper to taste. Steak sause is for when you need to mask the flavor of cheap meat or a bad cook.

Currently in Florence Al. Wife’s been in the Hospital here since Saturday morning. Picked up 1/2 Load here on Friday, got a room, and Shopped for a good hospital. The other half of the Load is in SC, 600 miles away. Then 740 miles home. Been a rough week dealing with unreasonable Incompetent Brokers. Wife’s been getting attacks every 5-6 hrs. since Wednesday night. Reluctant to go to the Emergency room. Luckily this Brokers been great about everything. I gave them the option to cancel. Had them on the phone while my Wife was having an attack as I was backing into the dock. She couldn’t catch her breath. Only enough to say, “ Get the Load!! “ Lol. It was pretty crazy. Diagnosis, Lung Embolisms. She’s stabilizing, still in pain and barely able to move around. They have her on a blood thinner IV. They’ve been drawing blood every 6 hrs. to get the dosage right. Then they’ll switch to a pill form. Be leaving today or tomorrow. It’s going to be a rough trip home. The whole weeks been upside down. Started with a plan to work a week, and go home to be by a friends side while they pull the plug. He suddenly got worse, and they had to do it sooner. Luckily We made it to the funeral. Left out the next day the 12th. It’s been like pulling teeth since. Between the Brokers attitudes, terrible rates, and overall BS involved. Makes me wonder like @Judge says. “Why do We put up with it.” I’m about done myself. Going to be very picky who I deal and what Loads I book from now on. Very aggravating to be questioned, second guessed, and treated like an idiot, by others that have much less experience, and probably half my age. So it goes. Thanks for asking. Ask a question, get an answer. Lol. Be safe everyone. I know you all can relate to the frustration. It’s humbling to know that others care.

But I wish you and your wife the best.

Just stop, @BennysPennys.
I mean, if you were the dude that missed that many extra points, you'd be feeling kinda low right now.
What's the record?
