The symptoms of a faulty steering ball joint are: 1. A clicking sound can be heard when turning; 2. You may feel a large gap in the steering wheel, and the direction may be unstable while driving; 3. In mild cases, it can cause unstable steering, and in severe cases, it can lead to the wheel suddenly slipping off, especially at high speeds. The steering gear is an important component in the car's steering mechanism, directly affecting the stability of the car's handling, the safety of operation, and the lifespan of the tires. The steering ball joint is a tie rod with a ball joint housing. The ball joint of the steering spindle is placed inside the ball joint housing, and the ball joint is connected to the edge of the shaft hole of the ball joint housing through the ball joint seat at its front end. The needle roller between the ball joint seat and the steering spindle is embedded in the groove on the inner hole surface of the ball joint seat, which helps reduce ball joint wear and improves the tensile resistance of the spindle.
