OF OF BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
Ball joints are lubricated for their normal life during
manufacture and require no further lubrication. This
applies ONLY if rubber boot has not been dislodged
or damaged. Joints should be checked at specified
mileage intervals but more frequently if vehicle is used
under arduous conditions.
1.Check for wear in joints by moving ball joint up
and down vigorously. If free movement is
apparent fit a new joint assembly.
