The flange type ball joints of the front lower arms may not have sufficient air tightness, and therefore, water may enter the inside of the ball joints and cause the grease to runoff, in which case rust may occur due to lack of lubrication. If this problem is left unattended, the joints may wear out, and in the worst case, the ball joints may fall off, causing the vehicle to stall.
