0CS311118 Audi CAGE

This little piece basically holds everything together for your ball joint. It keeps the grease inside where it needs to be, and keeps dirt and water out. It’s a flexible cover, so it allows the ball joint to move freely while still providing protection. Think of it like a really tough skin around a joint – it needs to bend, but also needs to be strong. It's part of your suspension and steering system, specifically connecting the control arm to your wheel hub. That ball joint allows your wheel to move up and down and steer left and right. The cage isn't the joint itself, but it’s absolutely essential for the joint to function smoothly and last a long time. Without it, the ball joint is exposed. Well, ball joints are under a lot of stress, and exposed to a lot of road grime. The cage keeps everything lubricated and protected. If it tears or gets damaged, dirt gets in, grease gets out, and the ball joint starts to wear out really quickly. You’ll notice if one goes bad – usually it’ll start with clunking noises, especially when you go over bumps. It can also cause wandering steering or uneven tire wear. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it before the ball joint itself fails can save you a lot of money and headache down the road. We often see folks order these along with the ball joint itself when they’re doing a suspension overhaul. You can find a good selection of these cages, and the ball joints themselves, over at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking. Guaranteed satisfaction: Cage (MPN 0CS311118) includes a 12-month warranty!
