Lower ball joint repair
Your vehicle’s suspension system depends on many vital components to keep your ride smooth and safe, and one of the most crucial is the lower ball joint. This small but powerful part connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to move up and down while turning freely. Over time, wear and tear, potholes, and rough driving conditions can cause the ball joint to loosen or fail — and when that happens, handling and safety can be severely compromised.
At Raven’s Auto Repair, serving Garden Grove and Fullerton, California, our ASE-certified technicians specialize in lower ball joint repair and replacement for all makes and models. Whether you drive a domestic car, an import, or a truck, our team has the tools, training, and expertise to diagnose the problem accurately and restore your suspension’s stability and performance.
Signs Your Lower Ball Joint May Need Replacement
Recognizing early warning signs can save you from costly repairs or dangerous driving conditions. Common symptoms include:
-
Clunking or knocking noises coming from the front suspension, especially when driving over bumps or turning.
-
Uneven tire wear, often on the inside or outside edges.
-
Vibration or wandering steering, making it harder to keep your vehicle straight.
-
Loose or shaky front end, especially when braking or accelerating.
If you experience any of these issues, it’s important to have your suspension inspected right away. A failing lower ball joint can eventually separate completely, leading to loss of control or tire collapse.
