The ball joints on your vehicle allow the suspension and wheels to move and articulate to match the terrain, as well as providing the connection which permits the wheels to turn. A ball joint consists of three pieces, which include a ball with a threaded stud, a socket, and a rubber boot. The ball and socket allow your suspension to adjust to different angles when steering and driving over rough roads or bumps. The ball joint also serves as a connection point for your steering knuckle, wheel, and the rest of your suspension, and is integral to the design and safe operation of your entire steering and suspension system. Depending on the design of your vehicle, it may only have lower ball joints in the front suspension, or it may have upper and lower ball joints attached to the control arms in the front and possibly even ball joints in the rear. If a ball joint has a grease fitting, it should be greased regularly - usually at each oil change - for the longest life and best performance. Squeaking in your suspension may be a sign that grease levels in your ball joint are too low or that the grease has been contaminated. This can lead to accelerated ball joint wear, which may cause it to become loose or suffer other damage. If your vehicle is pulling to one side, experiences uneven tire wear, or clunks and pops over bumps or during tight turns, it may point to a problem with a ball joint. Inspecting the condition of your ball joints should be a priority, as complete ball joint failure can lead to dangerous driving conditions or suspension system collapse. If the ball joint has any notable play, if the ball joint is damaged, or if the grease boot is torn and the grease is contaminated, it may be time to replace one or both of your ball joints. If you're ready to replace your ball joints , tie rods, sway bar links, or other suspension and steering parts, shop O'Reilly Auto Parts for the parts you need for the job. You can even rent the tools you need for ball joint and suspension service in our Loaner Tool Program .

TRW Ball Joints 'Sealed for Life'

'SEALED FOR LIFE' VS 'GREASABLE' JOINTS

Often times, grease will be added to ball joints. This will work well only if the joint is consistently and routinely greased. But even then, once a path has been created for the grease to egress, a path has also been created for the ingress of elements such as water, road salt and grit - which causes contamination leading to premature wear. 'Sealed for Life' ball joints protect from harmful elements and are maintenance free, promoting the proper product lifespan. We use the highest quality grease during the manufacturing process of our 'Sealed for life' joints, meaning we offer optimal performance for the life of the TRW branded joint.

WE STAND FOR SAFETY AND DURABILITY

Things to consider:

It is recommended that parts are replaced for left and right sides of the vehicle at the same time..

• For confirmed fitment, please verify your vehicle with the 'Check Fit' option
• Review the coordinating parts for a complete job

Technical Disclaimer:

During installation and assembly work all operating instructions, guidelines and tips from the vehicle manufacturer MUST be followed. And all work should be performed by a trained professional.

TRW parts go through various types of testing before hitting the road:

TRW JBJ1128 is a Suspension Ball Joint replacement part manufacutured to Original Equipment quality standards. Every TRW part has four levels of testing/technical/audit review before approval is given including endurance testing of 500K cycles.

This part fits:

Chrysler 200: 2011, Chrysler Sebring: 2010, Dodge Avenger: 2010 - 2011, Dodge Journey: 2010 - 2012, 2018

Product Description

Our state-of-the-art ball joint program includes the latest low-friction design technology, giving you reliable and robust, sealed, low friction parts for exceptional performance. Manufactured using forged or cold-formed steel, they have low friction polymer bearings that enhance damping and reliability.

The low friction design restores steering and suspension systems back to their original operating performance and facilitates low friction, less heat, and longer wear. These joints take care of themselves: No fuss, no constant monitoring and no chance of contamination. In a busy world, it’s the simple things that make all the difference.

Replacing Ball Joint

Has anybody here had luck changing lower ball joints ? I had tried to change one a few months back but the press I borrowed didn't seem to fit so I gave up. I'm heading on a road trip soon so I want to get this done asap.

The only videos I've seen that could help are for Avengers and they all seem to either smack it out with a sledge hammer.

Pretty standard. If it "didn't seem to fit", then you need to find the correct press that does fit.

Out of curiosity, were you changing it just because...our are you having issues? My auto parts store around here let's you rent or borrow specialty tools like a press. Ever try that? They can help you make sure you have the right size for what you are doing.

Good luck and post pictures if you do get it done.

Another question for my curiosity, Dodge not having the ball joint nipples to add grease to them. Has anyone used that small needle on their grease gun end to penetrate the rubber jacket and force grease into it ?  I know you may have some leaking ( a little afterwards) but at least you are keeping them well greased now.

Have not done it on my Journey but did try it on another previous truck. Was even advised to put a touch of sealant when done. Result...ended up replacing it shortly there-after.

I changed it because the wheel was rattling and there was a bit of shaking while driving.

I successfully did the job a few weeks ago, here are some tips if anybody else ever comes across this, I attached the service manual  to this post, just follow it and look at my notes.

-I rented the ball joint removal press, an adapter set and the pickle fork from Canadian Tire . The ball joint press doesn't fit perfectly because of how the knuckle is shaped but using the adapters you can get it off/on

-You don't need to remove the speed sensor  like the manual says, it won't really get in the way. Mine was kinda stuck so I left it in.

-Release of the lower ball joint from the lower control arm  was done with a pickle fork (and not the special Dodge  remover tool).

-I was able to use the press to put the joint back in about halfway, then I had to smack the bottom of one of those cylinders from the kit with a hammer to get it in the rest of the way.

Great notes, thanks. Now for the big question...did it solve your issue? Did you also have the squeaking when going over bumps before you did the job? Did this help?

Yes. No more loud banging noise when I drive over potholes and the ball joint was very worn out so it was it's time to go.
