Notes

Ball Joint Replacement Guideline:

If there is a knocking or clunking noise in the area of the front axle when the car is traveling over road bumps, potholes or curbs, then there is usually a defect in a component of the wheel suspension

The side of the front axle from which the (vibration) noise is emanating can already be determined during a test drive. The type of noise also already provides certain indications for maintenance regarding which components might be faulty

1.Raise the vehicle and remove the front wheels
2.To loosen the fastening screws and fixing nuts of the compression ball joint more easily, spray them with rust remover and allow to act for a few minutes

3.Loosen the fastening screws of the broken ball joint on the control arm and remove the nuts

4.Loosen and remove the fixing nut of the ball joint on the steering knuckle
Tip:If the ball stud rotates, hold the ball stud in place with a hexagon socket

5.Remove the bad or worn ball joint from the control arm
6.Loosen the compression ball joint on the steering knuckle using a suitable special tool

7.Clean the cone connection
Tip:For better sealing and durability of the ball joint sleeve, a little silicone grease can be applied to the contact surface

8.Insert new compression ball joint in the control arm and steering knuckle and tighten with new fixing nuts
9.Reinstall front wheels. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel studs to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer
10.Measure the chassis and adjust it using the various holes on the compression ball joint if necessary
