01E311807 Volkswagen SLEEVE

This sleeve basically fits over the ball joint itself, kind of like a protective shell. It keeps grease in and dirt, water, and debris out. It allows the joint to move freely while also safeguarding it from the elements. It's a simple part, but it does a lot. The ball joint connects your suspension to the wheel hub. It lets your wheel turn and move up and down. The sleeve is a crucial part of that connection. It doesn't move on its own, it just facilitates the ball joint's movement and protects it from wear. It’s nestled right in there, doing its job quietly. Well, without a good sleeve, that ball joint is gonna wear out a lot faster. Road salt, grime, just the everyday stuff you drive through will get in there and cause friction, eventually leading to looseness or even failure. You’ll notice if you start feeling vibrations in your steering or if your tires are wearing unevenly, that could be a sign the ball joint is going bad, and often the sleeve is the first thing to fail. Replacing the sleeve regularly can save you from having to replace the entire ball joint, and that saves you money and keeps you safe. You can find these sleeves pretty easily, even places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. It’s one of those preventative maintenance things that’s worth doing. Worry-free driving: Sleeve (MPN 01E311807) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
