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.

Mitsubishi Mirage L4-1.8L - Car is not starting - Altamonte Springs, Florida
Previously, I had called AAA when car wouldn't start and I had an AAA battery that was fairly new. I was stranded in a CVS parking lot for 2 1/2 hours at night. Finally, they got the car started and I was able to drive home, but the car wouldn't start the next day. Juan came yesterday and found out that the terminals on the battery were not connected properly. He fixed the problem, right away and I was able to use the car. Which was great, because I had missed 2 important doctor's appointments for a Cat-scan & an MRI. With Covid-19, it is very difficult to get an appointment to see a doctor.

Mitsubishi Galant L4-2.4L - Car is not starting - Bedford, Texas
Carlos was great! He showed up early, and although he fixed my car within the first 10 minutes he stuck around and gave me a complete overview of what kind of condition my car was in. He also gave me tips on how to maintain my car in good working order. Carlos went above and beyond and I would gladly recommend his services to anyone!
