A suspension ball joint is the pivot that links the control arm to the steering knuckle, which lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and have the alignment checked after installation.
