RJ-0446-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:53

On certain vehicles, the finishing of the sphere surface of the lower ball joint, which connects the lower arm and the steering knuckle arm of the front wheel, is too rough. If left unfixed, excessive wear can occur on the resin-made sheet of the ball joint. At worst, the ball joint separates from the steering knuckle arm, and the vehicle stalls.
