Suzuki Alto 2014-2021 Ball Joint RH

A car ball joint is a suspension component that connects the control arm (or wishbone) to the steering knuckle. It acts as a pivot point, allowing the control arm to move up and down while also facilitating steering movement. Ball joints are found in both the front and rear suspension systems of some vehicles, although they are more commonly used in the front suspension.

The primary function of a ball joint is to provide a flexible connection between the control arm and the steering knuckle while maintaining stability and allowing for controlled movement. It supports the weight of the vehicle and absorbs various forces and vibrations encountered during driving. This includes forces from bumps, road irregularities, braking, acceleration, and steering.

Over time, ball joints can wear out due to constant movement, stress, and exposure to contaminants such as dirt, water, and road debris. When a ball joint becomes worn or damaged, it can cause various issues such as excessive play or looseness in the suspension, uneven tire wear, steering instability, clunking or popping noises, and compromised handling and control.
