What does a front lower ball joint do?
It is a pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension while holding it in position.
Can this ball joint be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so you can add new lubricant to help flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear.
What are signs a lower ball joint may need replacing?
