Ball joint wear: what to look for
Over 400 ball joints for more than 40,000 applications.

Ball joints are vital components that connect the different parts of the steering system.

The ball and socket design allows for swivel movements so that the steering knuckles can pivot as the wheels are steered.

It is important to replace ball joints with high quality parts to ensure optimum performance and long service life, Febi say.

In a statement, the brand said: “Early signs of wear include a rattling noise and tyre wear.

“Not all signs are visible though and after a rain-filled winter and potholes on many UK roads, you may need to get your ball joints checked.”

Febi supplies more than 400 ball joints with over 40,000 applications for a variety of vehicle makes and models including Audi, Mercedes and Vauxhall.

It uses quality steel and OE grade rubber on its ball joints, and ensures all components are of OE matching quality across the rubber metal range.
