Febi say the most common sign that a ball joint is worn is tyre wear, but noises such as squeaking also provide a warning that there is a problem with the joint.
In a recent press release, the company said: “Poor quality ball joints can cause premature wear, as well as misalignment.
“It is important to replace ball joints with high quality parts to ensure efficiency and long service life.
“Febi uses top quality steel and OE grade rubber, supplying over 400 ball joints in its steering and suspension range for a variety of vehicle makes and models.”
Ball joints form the pivot between the wheels and suspension, allowing the suspension to absorb torque.
The ball and socket design in a ball joint allows for swivel movements so that the steering knuckles can pivot as the wheels are steered.
Febi Prokit 28600 supplies the ball joint with screws and nuts, to fit on both sides of the front axle.
Applications include Citroen C2 (2003-10), Citroen C3 (2003-10) and Peugeot 1007 (2005-09).
