Ball Joints Information

Automotive Ball Joints
If your ball joint is failing, you will hear a knocking noise when your car or truck goes over small bumps in the road, wandering, uneven tire wear, and erratic steering is also a sign of a ball joint going bad. Have your car inspected by a qualified service professional if you have any of these symptoms.

The ball joint connects the consol arms on the front and rear suspension to the wheel hub assembly. Many late model cars and trucks use lifetime ball joints that can not be lubricated, so the only option is to have them replaced by a professional. On some newer cars, the rear suspension also uses ball joints to connect all the suspension components together.

The ball joints are an overlooked item when vehicle maintenance is done, and for vehicles with over 60,000 miles, you should consider having the suspension and more specifically the ball joints inspected for wear. One other easy way to determine if a ball joint has worn is that you will notice uneven tire wear.

Before you pay hundreds in getting the tires replaced, make sure that the ball joins are in good condition. At DriveWire you get the highest quality ball joints at discount pricing with free ground shipping.
