Ball Joint is a crucial component of any vehicle's steering system. It connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheels to move up and down while also allowing the steering knuckle to pivot left and right for smooth steering. Ball Joint is an essential component that helps your vehicle's suspension system stay intact.
Can ball joints be lubricated?
Yes,
ball joints can be lubricated. They require regular lubrication to operate smoothly. Lubrication can help prevent premature wear and tear on the ball joints.
How often should you lubricate a ball joint?
It's important to lubricate ball joints regularly, typically every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. However, it's always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations on maintenance and lubrication.
What happens if you don't lubricate a ball joint?
If you fail to lubricate your
ball joints regularly, it can cause a multitude of problems. Corrosion can form on the ball joint causing it to become stiff, which can lead to metal-on-metal grinding, excessive tire wear, and a nosier ride.
In summary, Ball Joint is the key component of the vehicle's steering system that allows the wheels to move up and down while keeping the steering knuckle to pivot left and right. Regular lubrication can enhance its performance and longevity.
