Ball Joints

About Ball Joints

Ball Joints are spherical bearings that connect the Control Arms to the Steering Knuckle in the front suspension of a car. Working in a similar way to the ball-and-socket design of the human hip joint, Ball Joints act as as the pivot between the wheels and suspension. A ball joint for car can be found in the front suspension of passenger cars, but for some performance cars they are also located in the rear suspension.

In many vehicles, the MacPherson Strut suspension system design is used, where there is one Ball Joint car for each side and is located between the lower end of the strut and the control arm. This means that there are commonly two Ball Joints in the suspension, but there will be another four or more in the steering linkage (placed at the track rod ends and rack ends).

Why Do I Need Ball Joints?

Car Ball Joints are a crucial element to the suspension of your vehicle, which maximizes the tyre's contact to the road, increasing vehicle control and decreasing tyre wear. Without Ball Joints, critical components in a vehicle's front suspension will not be connected and able to move around. Ball Joints provide a safe, smooth ride for a car's driver and passengers and allow the driver to precisely control the vehicle.
