The ball joint is essentially the "hip joint" of your vehicle’s suspension. It acts as a pivot point between the control arms and the steering knuckles, allowing your wheels to move up and down over bumps while simultaneously turning left and right. Inside its metal housing sits a lubricated steel ball and socket, protected by a rubber dust boot. In South Africa, where our roads range from smooth highways to notorious pothole-riddled suburban streets, these joints take a massive amount of abuse. When they wear out, the "snug" fit disappears, leading to loose steering and, in extreme cases, the catastrophic separation of the wheel from the car.
