Signs the joints are worn
Worn ball joints often show up first as play at the wheel. With the front tire off the ground, grip it at the top and bottom and rock it. Movement felt at the joint, rather than in the wheel bearing, points to a worn joint. Clunking or popping over bumps, and a steering wheel that wanders, are other common signs.
Uneven tire wear, especially cupping on the inner edge, can also come from a loose joint. Inspect the dust boots for cracks, since a torn boot lets grit in and speeds wear. When replacing a joint, check related parts like tie rod ends and control arm bushings, because a worn neighbor can make a new joint wear faster.
- Rock the tire with the vehicle on jack stands
- Listen for clunks on rough road surfaces
- Check the boots for tears and grease leaks
