As a suspension ball joint, this part acts as a pivot. It lets the knuckle move up and down with the suspension while turning with the steering. On the 2008-2012 Honda Accord, the lower ball joint may need replacing if you notice clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, excessive play in the joint, or uneven tire wear. Other components can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the suspension before replacing parts. Consult the vehicle service information for installation steps and torque values. A wheel alignment check is recommended after suspension work.
