FEBI11417 Febi Ball Joint

This part lets your suspension and steering move up and down, and side to side. Think of it as a socket that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle. It has to pivot, bend, flex… basically allow movement while still holding everything securely together. The lock nut is just what keeps everything tightened down, prevents vibration from loosening it, that kind of thing. It’s a critical piece of your front suspension, specifically where the wheel assembly meets the vehicle's frame. It allows the wheels to turn and move with the bumps in the road, and it keeps your tires pointed in the right direction. It works with all the other steering and suspension parts—tie rod ends, control arms, the struts—to give you a smooth ride and good handling. Well, if a ball joint goes bad, you'll notice. You’ll likely feel a wobble in the steering, or hear clunking noises, especially when going over bumps. It can also cause uneven tire wear. Ignoring a bad ball joint is a really bad idea. If it fails completely, you could lose steering control. It’s a safety thing, plain and simple. A lot of folks get their parts from places like Fixparts Online, but you can find them most anywhere. The important part is getting a quality one and getting it installed correctly. A worn ball joint doesn’t just affect handling; it puts stress on other parts of your suspension, so it’s best to address it sooner rather than later.
