The lower ball joints are attached to the control arm and are primarily responsible for transferring loads from front tires to the axle. They also help in providing stability and accuracy when turning corners.

The ball joints on your vehicle are structural components that allow the suspension to move at different angles for steering and control on rough roads. Typically located between the steering or suspension knuckle or spindle and the control arm, ball joints are subjected to constant movement which can cause them to wear out over time and need to be replaced. Removing and replacing a bad ball joint is often a simple task that can keep your vehicle’s suspension system performing safely and prevent an accident due to separation. If you need to replace the ball joints on your vehicle, you may hear clunking or knocking sounds when turning or driving over bumps, or you might notice your vehicle wandering on the road. A failing or malfunctioning ball joint can cause problems with handling in your vehicle, and could eventually come apart, causing the suspension system to collapse and putting you and others in danger.
