What is the Ball Joint Rear all about?

Rear ball joints are a key part of your vehicle’s suspension system. The ball joints connect the control arm assembly (part of the chassis) to the steering knuckles (part of the wheels). The ball joints serve two purposes: they allow the wheels to steer and they allow the suspension to move freely. The rear ball joint acts nearly identically to the ball joints found in your shoulders and knees; they allow two separate components to operate both independently and together.

Keep in mind:

  • It’s a good idea to replace all of the ball joints at once.
  • In some cars the control arm blocks the ball joint and will need to be replaced as well.
  • After having your ball joints replaced, you should take your vehicle to a mechanic to have the wheels aligned. Mobile mechanics do not have the equipment needed to perform wheel alignments.

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:

Whenever your vehicle is being serviced or having routine maintenance, you should ask for the suspension to be inspected. During a major service, make sure that your ball joints are lubricated, as this will increase their lifespan. If you notice anything wrong with your wheels or suspension, schedule an inspection.

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

  • Steering wheel is shaky.
  • Car drifts to one side or the other.
  • Rear tires make loud noises and have abnormal wear.
  • Suspension makes odd noises.

How important is this service?

The rear ball joints connect the control arm assembly to the steering knuckles, and help the suspension and wheels work smoothly. The rear ball joints help your wheels steer, so as the ball joints are damaged, your car may begin to have steering problems. The rear ball joints also allow the suspension to move, which protects both the suspension and the chassis. Damaged rear ball joints result in a vehicle that is dangerous to drive, and upon driving, can cause further damage to other parts of your car.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme V6-3.8L - Windshield Washer Pump Replacement (Front) - East Elmhurst, New York
Great mechanic. Definitely knows his stuff. Got my 35 year old car's washer pump going again and sorted out my speedometer cable which was giving me problems since it was so old. Glad to know there are professionals out there who know their stuff and are not afraid to work on older cars. I would give ten stars if I could. Highly recommended.

Patrick is the best mechanic that has ever worked on my car. He is honest and he keeps his word! He said he would work on my car but I had a challenge booking him. A few days later he made good on his promise! My car drives like it's brand new!

My 2005 mini Cooper does not work with the key fob. I have to manually open the door and obviously its same key for ignition. I'm asking if I took out the circuit board from inside the key would that have any effect on the car working. Today I did that, this morning used the car no problem with the circuit in key and battery even though the key since I've had it has never worked remotely but then took out circuit later and went to car, opened it and put in ignition and it would not work. Lights work, windscreen wipers etc but car won't start up. Is this the key circuit or nothing to do with it.??? 郎
