Ball Joint





Ball Joint Wear limit 0-0.2 mm (0-0.008 in)

Measure the ball joint deflection while an assistant pushes up and pulls down on the lower control arm, by hand.
If the deflection exceeds the specification, a new ball joint must be installed.
If the deflection meets the specification, no further action is required.
