The ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as the wheel steers and the suspension moves up and down. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and excess play at the joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other components can produce similar symptoms.
