Ball Joint Replacement (1 pc.)
The ball joint is a critical suspension component that connects the steering knuckle to the control arm, allowing the wheels to move and steer. A worn ball joint is dangerous because if it fails, the wheel can collapse, leading to a complete loss of steering control.
Signs of a faulty ball joint:
-
Clunking or knocking noises when driving over bumps at low speeds.
-
Squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel.
-
Steering wandering or instability on straight roads.
-
Uneven front tire wear.
What is included in the service:
-
Disconnecting the ball joint from the control arm and steering knuckle.
-
Removing the old ball joint using a specialized press or separator.
-
Cleaning the mounting area and inspecting surrounding components.
-
Installation of the new ball joint using professional tools.
-
Inspection of the wheel bearing and tie rod ends for related wear.
