Checking the state of the ball joint

Checking the end play

First, pull the triangular lever down firmly and then press it up again -arrows-.

Radial play check

Grasping the wheel in its lower part, shake it with force in the direction -arrows- (inside - outside).

Instruction: In both cases, when checking, there should be no tangible or visible "backlash". When checking, monitor the mutual movement of the elements of the ball bearing. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the presence of play in the wheel bearing or "backlash" in the upper suspension strut. Check the anthers for damage, replace the ball joint if necessary.
