Understanding your vehicle's Front suspension ball joints and the importance of its maintenance
Front Suspension Ball Joints allow suspension components to pivot for suspension travel and steering, while ensuring precise location and control of all moving parts. Friction under the weight of the vehicle and regular movement of the joints may cause them to become worn, loose or damaged over time. This is worsened when their flexible dust covers become brittle and crack, allowing lubricating grease to escape or to become contaminated with road grit. These ball joints need to be periodically checked and greased as required to ensure that they operate correctly. They should be replaced as needed.
