Overview

Key features
- Two upper and two lower ball joints
- Hardware included
- Covers both sides
- Fully greasable
Before you buy
Ball joints carry the weight of the front end and act as the pivot points for steering. When they wear, the wheel can move in and out or up and down by a noticeable amount, which affects steering feel and tire wear. Wear usually builds slowly, so a periodic check on jack stands is worth doing before a long trip.
Joints tend to wear on both sides of the axle at similar rates, so many owners replace the opposite side when one side is due. Upper and lower joints should both be inspected, and the tie rod ends and control arm bushings are worth a look at the same time.
- Grip the tire at top and bottom to feel for play
- Look for torn or cracked dust boots
- Plan an alignment after replacement
