What is lubricating the ball joints all about?

Good suspension allows the wheels to move over bumps and potholes smoothly while making the car experience a very small amount of the jolt. In order for the wheels to move freely of the vehicle’s body, joints connect parts together while allowing them to move around. On parts that need to move in multiple directions at the same time, ball joints are the only solution.

Keep in mind:

  • To access the ball joint, wheels and brake components will usually have to be removed.
  • When lubricating the ball joint, the steering knuckle and other suspension components can be inspected for excess wear.
  • If a ball joint is covered in a rubber boot, the mechanic will make sure that the boot is still protecting the joint from dirt and debris.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
  • The ball joints on the suspension system is located
  • The Zerk grease fittings on the ball joints are located
  • New grease is pumped into the grease fittings with a grease gun
  • The vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands

Our recommendation:

The ball joints should be lubricated when the manufacturer suggests. This information can usually be found in a vehicle’s manual. The lubricant may wear away prematurely if the joint is not properly protected. Servicing the ball joints usually requires the removal of the wheels and brakes. This allows access to other components that usually aren’t as easily serviceable. Other joints aside from the ball joint may need lubrication. Parts may be showing excess wear. The steering knuckle and control arm should be inspected as well. There are many kinds of suspension and steering components that a vehicle could have, so consult the vehicle’s manual for any model-specific repairs or services that may need to be done.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the ball joints?

  • Loud squeaking or groaning when the suspension moves or when steering
  • Steering or suspension seems to operate less smoothly

How important is this service?

This service is fairly important and affects crucial components in the vehicle. Proper lubrication of components is a staple of preventative maintenance. Ball joints have to be completely replaced when they become too worn, and wear happens much faster without proper lubrication.

Kia Sorento V6-3.8L - Crankshaft Harmonic Balancer - Wake Forest, North Carolina
This was my first experience with Your Mechanic. Eric was able to come earlier for our appointment which was replacing my harmonic balancer. He was awesome. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I was nervous since I had never used this type of service before and the price quoted for my job seemed almost too good to be true. However, he was quite courteous and answered all my questions as well as not minding me staying with him while he worked. If I need mechanical work again, I will definitely request him.

Kia Sorento V6-3.5L - Smoke from engine or exhaust - Brandon, Florida
As a first time user at YourMechanic.com, it was absolutely fantastic for me that Jonathan was the one sent to diagnose my vehicle issue. I felt very much at ease from the outset due to his easygoing manner. He was very detailed, as well as patient, when explaining (and illustrating) the problem, the solution and what repairing the issue entailed. I would definitely recommend Jonathan for 1st time users (or any users of YourMechanic for that matter). As I’m not sure if I will get the work done at this point, I will definitely request Jonathan if I decide to do so.
