What are the signs a ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, clunking on bumps or turns, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
Should I replace both sides at once?
This listing is for one ball joint. Many techs replace worn joints in matched pairs for balanced handling; consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure and fasteners.
