Chevrolet Avalanche Ball Joint

Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles' Ball Joint is a part of the suspension system that joins the control arms and the steering knuckles. Some of these ball joints help to allow a particular joint to rotate in two particular planes while at the same time restricting translation and this in turn helps in improving the handling and stability of the car. A ball joint is engineered forged from steel and it has a bearing stud and socket encased in a rubber like boot so that the joint cannot gather dirt and to let the lubricant circulate. Concerning Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles, ball joints may differ in the kind and position; some are load bearing, and they help support vehicle weight whereas others are not load bearing and are used for vehicles' proper orientation only. Thus, considering ball joints, it is for this reason important to service them periodically by replacing them with new ones where necessary to eliminate the noise, abnormal wear of tires, misalignment and steering problems.
