OEM Honda Ball Joints

Suspension ball joints are vital components in the steering and suspension system of your Honda vehicle. They connect various moving parts, enabling smooth and controlled movements. These joints are designed to endure wear over time, but like all parts of your vehicle, they require inspection and replacement to maintain performance and safety.

When to Replace Ball Joints

Here are some indicators that it may be time to consider replacing the ball joints:

• Unusual Noises: Listen for creaking, clunking, or popping sounds coming from the suspension when driving over bumps or during turns.
• Uneven Tire Wear: If you notice uneven tire wear, especially on the front tires, it could indicate that the ball joints are not providing proper alignment and causing the tires to wear unevenly.
• Steering Instability: A loose or wandering steering feel, or difficulty maintaining control of the vehicle, may suggest failing ball joints.
• Vibrations: Excessive vibrations in the steering wheel or through the vehicle's body can be a sign of worn-out ball joints.
• Visible Damage: Inspect the ball joints visually for any signs of damage, such as tears in the rubber boot covering, excessive rust, or play in the joint when moving the wheel assembly.
• Vehicle Age and Mileage: As a general rule, it's recommended to have ball joints inspected regularly once the vehicle surpasses 100,000 miles or is more than ten years old.
