What is the Ball Joint Front all about?

Ball joints are a part of your vehicle's suspension system that connect the steering knuckles to the control arms. A ball joint is essentially a flexible ball and socket that allows the suspension to move and, at the same time, the wheels to steer. Cars and trucks will have multiple ball joint assemblies depending on their type of suspension system.

Like any other suspension component, ball joints will eventually wear out and become loose. Excessive play in the joint can affect wheel alignment and tire wear. Loose joints can also cause suspension noise (typically a "clunking" sound when going over a bump). If a ball joint fails, the suspension can collapse, causing a loss of control of the vehicle.

Keep in mind:

Depending on the suspension design, ball joints can be found either in the front or the rear. The vehicle may need to be taken to a shop for wheel alignment after this service. Mobile mechanics do not have the machinery to align wheels.

How it's done:

  • Remove the wheels.
  • Remove the control arm(s).
  • Remove and replace ball joints.
  • Check the entire suspension system for any problems.

Our recommendation:

When applicable, make sure the ball joints are lubricated during a major service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Ball Joint Front?

  • Clunking noise from front tires.
  • Steering wheel shakes.
  • Car moves to the right or left, especially going over the bumps.
  • Vehicle tires have abnormal wear.

How important is this service?

The ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle. As the wheels – and therefore the steering knuckles – move, the ball joints help the suspension – and therefore the control arm – stay steady. And as the suspension moves, the ball joints help the wheels steer. When the ball joints fail, the suspension and wheels have a hard time working independent of each other. This puts unnecessary strain on each component, which can alter wheel alignment and severely damage the suspension.

Lincoln MKT V6-3.7L - Brake Pads Replacement (Rear) - San Antonio, Texas
Nothing short of outstanding. He showed up on time to replace my brake pads (as the inspector yesterday indicated that this was the reason for the grinding noise I was hearing). He answered my questions about what was wrong and how to tell; even showing me the part and how it worked. When he got to the replacing, he found that one of the rotors was badly in need of replacing. At no fault of his own, he didn't have that part, but we were able to run out and get it for him at O'Reily's Auto Parts. He completed all of the work in my garage and then took me for a test drive to be sure that the repair work was completed to my satisfaction. He was very professional and worked efficiently. I had the car serviced just days before with another yourmechanic who really dropped the ball, telling me that my rear brakes were fine, but when we had it reinspected, the second yourmechanic said that the pads were bad and that the first mechanic should have seen this. Yourmechanic remedied the problem so that at least financially it didn't cost me extra, however the resolution itself took a long time with no one returning phone calls from their 1800#.
