Ball Joint: Description and Operation
Ball Joint - Upper
DESCRIPTION
The upper ball joint is pressed into the upper control arm. The ball joint is a "sealed for life" component and cannot be maintenance lubricated. This ball
joint is lubricated for life at the time of assembly. No attempt should be made to ever add any lubrication to this ball joint.
Neither the upper ball joint, nor the seal boot can be serviced as a separate component. The entire upper control arm must be replaced if either are
damaged.
The ball joint connection at the knuckle is achieved by an interference fit created by the tapered stud of the ball joint and a tapered hole in the steering
knuckle. The ball joint stud is retained in the steering knuckle using a locking nut.
