About Ball Joints

Ball joints connect your control arms to the steering knuckles and let the wheels move and steer. Clunking over bumps, wandering steering or uneven tyre wear can all point to a worn ball joint.

Select your vehicle at the top of the page to see ball joints that fit. Some vehicles have the ball joint built into the control arm, so check which part your car uses. A wheel alignment is recommended after replacement. Questions? Call us on 02 9413 3166.

Ball Joints FAQs

What are the signs of bad ball joints?

Common signs include clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, uneven tyre wear, and play in the wheel when it's rocked top to bottom. Worn ball joints are a safety issue, so have them checked promptly.

What does a ball joint do?

A ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel move up and down with the suspension while also turning for steering.

Can a worn ball joint be dangerous?

Yes. A badly worn ball joint can separate, which can cause loss of steering control. Don't ignore clunks or play in the front end.

Do ball joints need to be pressed in?

It depends on the vehicle. Some ball joints bolt in, some are pressed into the control arm, and on some vehicles the ball joint comes as part of the control arm. Check the listing and your workshop manual.

Should I replace both ball joints at once?

It's often worthwhile, as both sides have done the same kilometres. At a minimum, check the other side while the vehicle is in the air.
