Toyota Ball Joints Online

The ball joints on your Toyota vehicle are integral parts of its suspension, along with the bushings and bearings. Your front suspension controls the movement of your wheels, allowing them to move both vertically and to either side. It's also what keeps your tires on the road.

What Ball Joints Do

The ball joint consists of a ball and socket that connect to a link and allow it to move. They do this by creating a pivot between the steering knuckle and the control arm, helping to keep you in control as you're driving.
