The ball joint is the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel move up and down over bumps while turning with the steering. As the joint wears, you may notice clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear — signs this part may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
