RJ-0645-0

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

On certain vehicles, there may be some production damage on the dust boot of the ball joint which connects the lower arm of the front wheel shock absorber and the steering knuckle arm. If left unfixed, mud water may get in from the damaged section of the dust boot, causing the resin of the bearing to become worn out excessively. At worst, the ball stud comes off.
