What is the Ball Joint Rear all about?

Rear ball joints are a key part of your vehicle’s suspension system. The ball joints connect the control arm assembly (part of the chassis) to the steering knuckles (part of the wheels). The ball joints serve two purposes: they allow the wheels to steer and they allow the suspension to move freely. The rear ball joint acts nearly identically to the ball joints found in your shoulders and knees; they allow two separate components to operate both independently and together.

Keep in mind:

It’s a good idea to replace all of the ball joints at once.
In some cars the control arm blocks the ball joint and will need to be replaced as well.
After having your ball joints replaced, you should take your vehicle to a mechanic to have the wheels aligned. Mobile mechanics do not have the equipment needed to perform wheel alignments.

How it's done:

Remove the wheels.
Remove the control arm(s).
Remove and replace ball joints;
Check the entire suspension system for any problems.

Our recommendation:

Whenever your vehicle is being serviced or having routine maintenance, you should ask for the suspension to be inspected. During a major service, make sure that your ball joints are lubricated, as this will increase their lifespan. If you notice anything wrong with your wheels or suspension, schedule an inspection.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Ball Joint Rear?

Steering wheel is shaky.
Car drifts to one side or the other.
Rear tires make loud noises and have abnormal wear.
Suspension makes odd noises.

How important is this service?

The rear ball joints connect the control arm assembly to the steering knuckles, and help the suspension and wheels work smoothly. The rear ball joints help your wheels steer, so as the ball joints are damaged, your car may begin to have steering problems. The rear ball joints also allow the suspension to move, which protects both the suspension and the chassis. Damaged rear ball joints result in a vehicle that is dangerous to drive, and upon driving, can cause further damage to other parts of your car.

Audi A6 Quattro V6-3.0L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Hampton, Virginia

Todd was fantastic. His overall assessment of the car was thorough, but there were some things I wanted him to pay special attention to that were specific to reported concerns with the mfg. This is where he earned my respect and appreciation. First, he was 100% up front with what he knows and doesn't know regarding the questions I asked him to look into. Big plus right there! He gave an in-depth feedback on what he learned - both from his inspection, and from searching online - big thanks! He was also upfront about his automotive expertise, where I learned he's a real pro. I'm not a car person, and my hearing leaves a lot to be desired lol, but I was easily able to follow and understand him. His honesty, expertise, thoroughness, and the ease I had in talking with him made this a great experience with Todd and Your Mechanic. I'd recommend him again in a heartbeat. Cars is his passion, and customer service comes naturally to him. Thank you so much, Todd!!

Very professional and polite. You can tell he knows vehicles from his extensive background. I hope Ben stays a mechanic for a long time because if I ever need help he will be the one I will be booking. He even arrived earlier and gave me a call which is what I wanted.5 stars!
