A ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as you steer while the suspension moves over the road. Signs one may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play at the joint during inspection. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind those symptoms, TXK6539 replaces it.
