A front lower ball joint lets the steering knuckle pivot and move with the suspension. The joint may need replacing if you notice clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play in the joint during inspection. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
