The ball joint is the lower pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle, so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing any part. If a worn joint is the cause and you are planning a 2007-2017 Jeep Compass ball joint replacement, this press-fit unit with its included pinch bolt and locking nut replaces the original in the front lower position.
