What happens when a ball joint goes bad?

Posted on 6/18/2019


When your ball joint goes bad it can cause extreme tire wear and in the most dangerous of conditions it can break and cause you to lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident. If you've been told that your ball joint has excess movement and needs to be changed, then it probably does. You'll also need an alignment to make sure all of your steering and suspension components are correct. 



Give us a call and let us take care of you. 


Happy Adventures,
