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.

Infiniti I30 V6-3.0L - Brake Light Switch - Fishers, Indiana
This service was perfect working around my work schedule. By coming out to my house, it saved me time by not taking it into a dealership or service shop. Matthew was very polite and did a fantastic job repairing the brake light switch...all in a timely manner. He explained to me the problem and what he did to fix it. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to people I know who will benefit from Your Mechanic.

Infiniti I30 V6-3.0L - Engine or Transmission Mount Replacement - Lafayette, California
Got a phone call from Art 25 minutes after the appointment time. The part that was supposed to be available when he called the parts place yesterday was not there. He said he has been waiting for more than an hour for the parts to be delivered from another store. I would have liked it if he had called me before the appointment time. When he got here, however, he was very professional and got the job done within the allowable time. He checked everything, unlike the other guy who came to me from Yourmechanic.com last time. I test-drove with him to make sure the job was done correctly. As we drove, he noticed the wheel bearing seemed to be out of whack. My wife and I were suspecting it might be the wheel bearing that made noise to the car but when we took it to my mechanic in Lafayette who I have been going for the past 20 years, said the noise was because of the engine mount that we just replaced. The engine mounts were bad but Art stated that would not make the noise we are hearing. He even told us how we can check to see which side wheel bearing is bad while driving. Although he arrived late outside of his control, he did everything right after that. I would give him 4 and a half stars but no way to do that. As to the Yourmechanic.com, I give them 3 stars because the original guy who was supposed come out last Friday called and left me a message that parts weren't available, so he would like to come and do it either Saturday or Monday. I called and left him a message to call me back but he did not call back. So, I ended up calling Yourmechanic.com to change the mechanic on Monday for Art to come on Tuesday.
