Apply the parking brake and put blocks at the rear wheels to prevent rolling. After that, make use of a prybar to check if there is increased movement between a balljoint and its steering knuckle. Moreover, let an assistant move inward and outwardly top of the tire while checking if there is any movement when testing at a stud nut. If this excessive movement occurs, then it means that the ball joint is going bad. Marking position of control arm would be a good point to start for replacing ball-joint. Then remove wheel, cotter pin and castle nut to separate ball-joint from steering knuckle. Next, take off control arm from subframe . While fixing drill out rivets used to attach old ball-joint clean up control arm and insert new one using provided fasteners . The torque for tightening these bolts should be adjusted in accordance with manufacturer's instructions . At last reattach control arm into sub-frame and secure ball stud into steering knuckle with new cotter pin applied here since old bent one must have been quite uncomfortable if not absent.

Chevrolet Impala Ball Joint

Ball Joint used in the Chevrolet Impala is a suspension system component that links the steering knuckle and control arms so that it can move in several directions. These ball joints are of immense importance when it comes to managing stability and handling of the automobile, and particularly the front suspension part of the automobile. Depending on the generation of the Impala, there can be a difference in the number and location of ball joints which are incorporated in the front suspension as well as the rear suspension. Ball joints, in Chevrolet Impala cars due to the vibration and shock that they are subjected to, can wear out and cause play, and noise when on the road. The nature of ball joints is such that they cannot be repaired when they are worn out; therefore replacement is the only remedy. Made out of steel and featuring rubber boots on the outside, the contemporary ball joints are much more adjustable and more durable than the kingpin style of the past. Through innovation on the manufacturing of bearings and sealing, ball joints that are fitted in Chevrolet Impala automobiles have the strength to last up to 80,000 miles improving safety and performance on the road.

Each OEM Chevrolet Impala Ball Joint we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
