DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
BALL JOINT INSPECTION
Ball Joint Inspection
1. Raise the front of the vehicle to allow the front
suspension to hang free.
2. Grasp the tire at the top and the bottom.
3. Move the top of the tire in an in-and-out motion.
4. Look for any horizontal movement of the knuckle
relative to the control arm.
5. Ball joints must be replaced under the following
conditions:
•The joint is loose.
The ball seal is cut.
The ball stud is disconnected from the knuckle.
The ball stud is loose at the knuckle.
The ball stud can be twisted in its socket with
finger pressure.
Ball Stud Inspection
Make sure to check the tightness of the ball stud in the
knuckle boss during each inspection of the ball joint.
One way to inspect the ball stud for wear is to shake
the wheel and feel for movement of the stud end at the
knuckle boss.
Another way to inspect the ball stud for wear is to check
the fastener torque at the pinch nut. A loose nut can
indicate a stressed stud orahole in theknuckle boss.
Worn of damaged ball joints and knuckles must be re-
placed.
