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.

I really appreciate the time and effort Kingsley took find the right battery for my car. He was great. I also want to thank John at the call center, who found Kingsley to replace my battery on a holiday. I really needed to get to work the next day.

Volkswagen CC L4-2.0L Turbo - Coolant Reservoir - Houston, Texas
Stellar Service! Ben Smith in Houston, Tx. was exactly what I prayed for! Being a female with no experience at all on cars- I was indeed leery. However, the moment this guy pulled up and asked questions about the car and started checking my car from the front to the rear I felt at peace. As he dove into my issue on my VW CC- I felt even better. I had read his reviews and had asked specifically for him due to his ratings and let me tell...you every single word the Customers before me mentioned about him; was indeed true and much more! His credentials ARE AMAZING! NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT THIS GUY SERVED OUR COUNTRY! HE IS ALSO A MARINE! I FELT LIKE I RECIEVED A GOLD STAR FOR HAVING CHOOSEN HIM. I AM INDEED A LIFER. "YOUR MECHANIC", HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ADDED TO MY CALENDAR AND LOCKED IN MY PHONE (SPEED DIAL OF COURSE). OH AND DID I MENTION THE PRICING WAS BETTER THAN MOST QUOTES I HAVE RECEIVED! THANKS FOR YOUR AMAZING SERVICE BEN! YOUR COMPANY HAS A CERTIFIED DIAMOND! SIGNED A LIFER Ms. Proctor

Volkswagen Rabbit L5-2.5L - Car idle is rough - Tulsa, Oklahoma
While I wish that Nathan could have provided me with better news about my car, he is a very thorough and knowledgeable professional. He showed up on time and carefully went over all of my problem areas on my 2009 VW Rabbit. Based on our discussion, I decided not to pour more money into fixing the problems with the car and instead got a pretty good price for trading it in.
