1 Answers
Wiper linkage ball joint keeps falling off due to prolonged use leading to detachment. Below are detailed symptoms of a damaged ball joint in a car: 1. Abnormal noise: The car will produce abnormal noises when driving on bumpy roads. If the car frequently drives on rough road conditions, the lifespan of the ball joint will be relatively shorter, and it may get damaged within 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. 2. Vibration: A noticeable wheel vibration can be felt during low-speed driving. 3. Unstable driving: The car becomes unstable while driving, exhibiting side-to-side swaying and deviation, and in severe cases, it may even cause brake failure. 4. Prone to breakage: If the ball joint has excessive play, it is more likely to break under impact loads.
