Ball joint was developed long before the advent of the first car. Put simply, it is a hinge that rotates in all planes. Its disadvantages may include limited speed, and some fragility. It is, as a rule, becomes the reason for poor quality material. Unfortunately, this also applies to the domestic automobile industry. Often declared on the box of up to 30,000 – 40,000 resource, but the ball-bearing starts to knock after a few thousand.
Also, you cannot blame one specific manufacturer, since the products of the same company differ in shown results. Classic independent front suspension uses two ball joints on each side. They provide suspension travel and serve to wheel could turn. It is worth remembering that this scheme is only applicable to independent suspension, as when using the cross beam ball replaced with pins.
The Ball joint is the most vulnerable “body” of the front suspension, even the shock absorbers have a greater life. By the way, the wear of the first it significantly reduces. And not only him, in addition, suffer all rubber products, which applied in the suspension. So monitor their condition required. Unfortunately, the ball joint will not zastuchit, it's impossible to diagnose without disassembly, which, in fact, interfere.
But should not be delayed only because “good knock must show itself”. This means that it can fly at the most inopportune moment. Well, if it will happen in the summer in the village and at a low speed. Even under these conditions, injuries are inevitable. Lower ball joint suffers the most, because it accounts for almost all of the weight of the car. When falling into the pit she unloaded and under the action of the spring "withdrawn" in the opposite direction.

Such a scenario sooner or later cause wear, because there is an effect of the anvil, which holds each steel grade. Unfortunately, modern manufacturers are negligent to this aspect of the production, which leads to premature failure. Ball joint VAZ is usually 300 rubles, to replace all will cost 1200, despite the fact that work will have to perform yourself. And this is nerves, time, perhaps, even injuries. When you consider the life, change their account twice per season, depending on usage.
I Want to dispel the myth that the ball joints are worn only on domestic cars. The fact that most of the parts made under license, which means that they can be manufactured in Russia or abroad. For example, in France there is a factory which is engaged in supplying spare parts for “classics”, in addition, they are made more for the 27 brands in the world. The quality depends on the brand of car, not from the manufacturer, not from the country in which the plant and from the metal of which is made one or the other part. To use most of them, the most important is this factor. But everyone has their own opinion.
