	Fitting position Fitting position When purchasing car parts, understanding the importance of the fitting position is crucial for ensuring the correct functionality and safety of your vehicle. Here's why: Compatibility: Different parts of a vehicle have specific designs and functions tailored to their fitting positions. Installing a part in the wrong position can lead to compatibility issues, causing malfunctions or even damage to other components. Performance: Each part is engineered to operate optimally within its designated fitting position. Placing a part in the wrong position may compromise its performance, leading to inefficient operation, reduced lifespan, or even failure. Safety: Certain car parts play critical roles in ensuring the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. Installing safety-related components in the wrong position can significantly compromise vehicle safety, increasing the risk of accidents or injury. Warranty and Liability: Installing parts in incorrect positions can void warranties and hold the installer liable for any resulting damages or accidents. Manufacturers typically specify fitting positions to ensure proper functionality and to protect against liabilities. Regulatory Compliance: In some regions, vehicle modifications or improper installations may violate regulations or emissions standards. Ensuring parts are installed in their correct positions helps maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. In summary, paying attention to the fitting position when purchasing car parts is essential for ensuring compatibility, performance, safety, warranty compliance, and regulatory adherence. Always refer to manufacturer specifications and seek professional assistance if unsure about proper installation procedures.	front axle right front axle left

A ball joint is a critical component of the suspension system that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle. It functions like a pivot point, allowing the front wheels to move up and down with the suspension while also turning left and right for steering. This ensures smooth handling, steering precision, and proper alignment.

Typical symptoms include:

Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension, especially over bumps
Uneven tire wear or inner/outer edge wear
Loose or wandering steering
Vibration or play in the steering wheel
Squeaking noise when turning (especially at low speeds)
If ignored, a severely worn ball joint can separate, causing loss of steering control — a serious safety hazard.

To ensure a perfect fit, match the OEM part number or check compatibility using your vehicle’s make, model, year, and chassis number (VIN). You should also confirm:

Position (Upper / Lower / Front / Rear)
Drive type (2WD / 4WD)
Mounting style (press-in / bolt-on / snap-in)
If you’re unsure, our team can help verify the correct part based on your vehicle details.

It’s recommended to inspect and replace ball joints in pairs (left and right) to maintain balanced suspension geometry and even tire wear. If one is worn out, the other is often close to the same condition. During replacement, check control arm bushings, tie rods, and shock absorbers for wear as well.

High-quality ball joints can last between 80,000 – 150,000 km, depending on road conditions and driving habits. Factors that shorten lifespan include:

Driving on rough or uneven roads
Poor lubrication or damaged rubber boots
Heavy load or off-road use
Regular inspection and replacing dust boots when torn can extend service life.
