54530-C5100 BALL JOINT FAQ
Can I drive with a loose ball joint?
Driving with a worn ball joint is dangerous. Complete failure can lead to the wheel separating from the suspension, resulting in total loss of steering control.
Is a wheel alignment needed after replacement?
Yes. Any replacement of a suspension pivot point will slightly change the toe and camber settings, making a professional alignment necessary to protect your tire investment.
