54570-3E100 BALL JOINT FAQ
How can I tell if my ball joint is bad at home?
With the vehicle safely on jack stands, grip the tire at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions and shake it. Any vertical “clunk” or movement usually points to a bad lower ball joint.
Do I need an alignment after replacement?
Yes. Any time a primary pivot point like the ball joint is replaced, the front-end alignment (camber/toe) can shift slightly, which can lead to tire wear if not corrected.
