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.

Ram 1500 V8-5.7L - Car is not starting - Naples, Florida

This is the 2nd time he has been out to work on my Trucks. Unfortunately this time William was not able to solve my dilemma. However he sat with me at the Computer and showed me how many others are having the same problems and how many of them are solving them. However, he also showed me that in most cases these "created remedies" would most certainly be a reason for any car warranty to become void. He told me what I needed and also that I did not need to go to the Dealer where I bought the truck. The warranty is with Dodge/Chrysler, not the dealer. So I can go to the Dodge dealer here in Naples (a much much closer location). He was honest, straight forward and right to the point, making no beans about the best solution. I am disappointed of course, but also now know more than before he came. I will gladly have him work on my truck(s) in the future. Kris King
