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.

Jeep Grand Cherokee V8-5.7L - Lubricate Ball Joints - Fort Worth, Texas
Robert did another great job with a new vehicle that I added to my garage. He performed a full 50-point inspection of the vehicle and checked all of the potential wear-and-tear areas under and around the vehicle, including tires, brakes, joints, and seals. Robert has a lot of experience with all types of cars and will always help you learn more about your vehicle and how to keep it well-maintained.

Jeep Commander V6-3.7L - Car is overheating - Seattle, Washington
This was my 3rd experience with Your Mechanic, and my 2nd with Theodore. He is awesome. I haven't needed any service for over a year and totally did not think he would remember me, because I am sure they have lots of customers. He totally remembered me, remembered my truck and personal details! He was very communicative and messaged me about his schedule before arriving. My truck was making a terrible noise and sounded like chipmunks were being murdered. Then it engine light came on and it totally over heated - water everywhere in the engine.. so I had no idea what was wrong and ended up having to get it towed home, because I knew I'd get yourmechanic because I've been very happy with past services. Theo came out on a Sunday evening - he is very easy going and explains everything to you. He examined the engine and did a bunch of tests on it, then determined the water pump needed to be replaced. He pointed out the evidence to support his theory and then found the part, went to pick it up, came back and replaced it, all on Sunday night, within a couple hours. After the fix, he showed me how everything was running and the truck was good to go! I love Theodore, I would always want him. He's replaced my water pump and alternator now. It's been a week and the truck is running perfect and sounds better than it has in years. Thumbs way UP!

Robert was great- he was on time, friendly and professional, quick and honest. He diagnosed the problem and had my car up and running in no time. I trust him with my Jeep more than the Jeep dealership Ive been to!
