What is Ball Joint
A Ball Joint is a mechanical linkage used in a vehicle's suspension system, consisting of a ball stud and socket enclosed in a protective housing. The ball stud allows for rotational movement, while the socket provides a stable connection. Ball Joints are specifically designed to withstand the forces exerted on the suspension system and maintain proper alignment, ensuring smooth and controlled movement of the wheels

Function of Ball Joint
Ball Joints play a crucial role in connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles or wheel hubs, facilitating smooth and controlled movement. They serve as pivot points that enable the suspension system to articulate and absorb shocks and vibrations. By allowing the wheels to move up and down while maintaining proper alignment, Ball Joints facilitate steering and contribute to overall stability.
