The lower ball joint is the pivoting connection at the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel while the wheel steers. As it wears you may notice clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear — signs this part may need replacing. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the front end before ordering.
