Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and visible play at the joint are signs a Honda ball joint may need replacing. If a worn lower joint is the cause, this suspension ball joint replaces it. Have the front suspension inspected to confirm the diagnosis, and check the alignment after installation.
