1 Answers
The symptoms of a bad ball joint in a car include: 1. The chassis will make clunking noises when driving over bumpy roads; 2. Uneven tire wear, unstable driving, and the car may sway from side to side; 3. Braking deviation; 4. Steering wheel vibration, and in severe cases, loss of steering control. The steering ball joint is a crucial component in the car's steering mechanism, directly affecting the stability of vehicle handling, driving safety, and tire lifespan. Therefore, it must be replaced promptly if damaged. The function of the steering ball joint is to use a spherical connection to transmit power between different axes, providing multi-angle rotation, allowing the steering mechanism to turn smoothly, reducing vibrations, and ensuring smooth steering.
