Why Replace This Part?
Ball joints are exposed to road dirt, moisture, suspension load, steering movement, and general wear. Over time, the joint can develop play, seize, split its protective boot, or become noisy. A worn front ball joint may cause knocking noises, vague steering, uneven tyre wear, poor handling, or failed inspection. Replacing the ball joint helps restore secure suspension movement and correct front axle control.

•   The ball joint boot is split, missing, or leaking grease
