What does a lower ball joint do?
It is the pivot that joins the lower control arm to the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel move up and down with the suspension and turn with the steering.
Can this ball joint be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so new lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.
What are signs a ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and play in the joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
