ADV188601 Blue Print Ball Joint with lock nuts

Basically, a ball joint lets your suspension and steering move up and down, and side to side. It’s a spherical bearing—think of it like your shoulder joint, allowing a lot of different movements. It connects your control arm to the steering knuckle, which holds the wheel assembly. The lock nuts are there to keep everything securely fastened—they’re a safety feature to prevent things from coming loose over time from vibration and wear. It’s a critical piece in your front suspension. It allows the wheel to steer and the suspension to absorb bumps in the road. It essentially translates your steering input into wheel movement. It works with all the other suspension components—like control arms, struts, and tie rods—to keep your tires in contact with the road and give you a smooth ride. Because it takes a beating. It’s constantly moving and dealing with the weight of your vehicle, plus every bump and turn. You’ll notice if one goes bad—you'll usually get some clunking sounds coming from the front end, especially when going over bumps, or it might feel loose in the steering. Ignoring a bad ball joint can lead to bigger problems with your suspension and steering, and potentially unsafe handling. It’s a wear item—eventually, they’ll need replacing. You can find these parts, and a lot of other suspension stuff, at places like Fixparts Online if you want to check pricing and availability. Replacing them in pairs is usually a good idea, just to ensure even wear and handling. Backed by experts: Ball Joint with Lock Nuts (MPN ADV188601) comes with a 12-month warranty!
