What is lubricating the ball joints all about?

Good suspension allows the wheels to move over bumps and potholes smoothly while making the car experience a very small amount of the jolt. In order for the wheels to move freely of the vehicle’s body, joints connect parts together while allowing them to move around. On parts that need to move in multiple directions at the same time, ball joints are the only solution.

Keep in mind:

  • To access the ball joint, wheels and brake components will usually have to be removed.
  • When lubricating the ball joint, the steering knuckle and other suspension components can be inspected for excess wear.
  • If a ball joint is covered in a rubber boot, the mechanic will make sure that the boot is still protecting the joint from dirt and debris.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
  • The ball joints on the suspension system is located
  • The Zerk grease fittings on the ball joints are located
  • New grease is pumped into the grease fittings with a grease gun
  • The vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands

Our recommendation:

The ball joints should be lubricated when the manufacturer suggests. This information can usually be found in a vehicle’s manual. The lubricant may wear away prematurely if the joint is not properly protected. Servicing the ball joints usually requires the removal of the wheels and brakes. This allows access to other components that usually aren’t as easily serviceable. Other joints aside from the ball joint may need lubrication. Parts may be showing excess wear. The steering knuckle and control arm should be inspected as well. There are many kinds of suspension and steering components that a vehicle could have, so consult the vehicle’s manual for any model-specific repairs or services that may need to be done.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the ball joints?

  • Loud squeaking or groaning when the suspension moves or when steering
  • Steering or suspension seems to operate less smoothly

How important is this service?

This service is fairly important and affects crucial components in the vehicle. Proper lubrication of components is a staple of preventative maintenance. Ball joints have to be completely replaced when they become too worn, and wear happens much faster without proper lubrication.

Chevrolet Malibu L4-2.4L - Transmission fluid is leaking - Federal Way, Washington
In all honesty, it's very hard these days to trust mechanics in regards to telling one self that something is more seriously wrong with your vehicle when it's not just to make an extra buck. But I did not get this in anyway from Matt. He was very honest and took the time with me to go over the possibilities n what can be checked first before one would assume that you would need to go buy a new transmission. He drove the car and said, it drove without no problems and the engine light ended up going off. He also helped my in resetting the annoying check oil and oil 0% lights when it had been changed previously but never went off. He also checked and discussed with me the service traction and ESC light. We discussed a lot about my car (problems) that I can't remember everything as to write them all so that goes without saying that he was very thorough. I would definitely use Matt again for any more services on my family's or my vehicles. Thank You Matt Your Awesome!!!

Chevrolet HHR L4-2.2L - Car starts and then dies - Dallas, Georgia
He came out while I was at work and gave my brother in law a full detailed list of what the problem was. He then called me and provided me with the information also. I had paid 240.00 for a key to be reprogrammed and everyone had told me that was probaly why my car wasn't starting. I was very happy that he was just able to confirm that info so now I am able to possbily get a partial refund on paying them. Most importantly, I'm just happy that I won't be out of anymore money, it seems like it's been one issue after another
