“Our goal is to offer a 5-star experience on a consistent basis.”
Ball joints are a critical part of your vehicle’s suspension system; they are ball-and-socket joints between your vehicle’s control arm and the steering knuckle.
These joints act as the “pivot” point between the wheels and the rest of your suspension when you turn left or right (or otherwise turn your wheels).
Your vehicle may have upper ball joints and lower ball joints, which attach at different areas and bear different loads.
Your ball joints will be located on the end of control arms.
Because ball joints need to be pressed into a control arm, replacement parts for ballpoints often come pre-attached to control arms in an assembly.
For this reason, your auto specialist may recommend replacing the control arm at the same time as replacing the ball joints.
When you need expert advice, you can count on the team at Dale’s Auto Service to get your vehicle up and running in tip-top shape.
Ball Joint Importance
When a ball joint fails, your wheel is free to move in whatever direction it wants!
If you’ve ever seen a vehicle on the side of the road with its wheel broken off and laying flat, a ball joint snapping was the likely cause!
Symptoms:
Some of the telltale signs of a failing ball joint include:
- Clunking noises when you turn or go over bumps
- Vibration from the front of the vehicle that seems disproportionate
- Uneven wear on your tires, meaning the inside of your tire is more worn than the outside (or vice versa). This is because your tire is wandering to one edge as your ball joint is not keeping your wheel straight.
- Steering pulling to one side or the other can be the result of your ball joint giving excessive play and pull.

Shocks and Struts – more than you wanted to know
When it comes to absorbing the shocks of the road, you’d think the shock absorbers would take care of everything.
But you’d only be half right.
Actually, coil or leaf springs handle the abuse of the road. Your shock absorbers handle the abuse caused by the rebound of the springs.
They both work together to keep your vehicle under control.
These two components, plus a variety of control arms, shafts, rods, bushings, joints, and knuckles make up what’s commonly called a conventional car suspension.
Many larger SUVs and pickup trucks still use this time-tested design.
Many of today’s front-wheel drive cars have a strut suspension system that combines the control arms and shock absorbers.
A conventional car suspension into one unit, eliminating the need for a lot of other components.
Struts cost more, but they do more than conventional shock absorbers and have fewer components to maintain.
