Rod Ball
What is a ball joint?
A ball joint is a spherical bearing used in automobiles for connecting the control arms to the steering knuckle. It resembles a steel stud and socket enclosed in a casing made of steel which is made to fit into a tapered hole in the steering knuckle.
In the aftermarket, there are two main types of ball joint – Encapsulated (sealed) and Mechanical (Greasable). The question is often asked what is the difference and which one is more suitable.
Encapsulated design ball joints are ‘sealed for life', in other words they are completely maintenance free. They have a smoother feel during articulation and are mainly designed for passenger vehicles.
Mechanical ball joints are not sealed and are supplied with grease nipples for lubrication at regular intervals. It is recommended to service mechanical joints at every oil change. They are typically found in older vehicles or light commercial/ 4WD vehicles as they are more suitable for load bearing vehicles.
When it comes to deciding between encapsulated or mechanical design ball joints, most manufacturers determine the most suitable design for the application. As such, the customer never needs to be concerned that they are being supplied a ball joint that may not be suitable for the vehicle.
Ball joints serve as the pivot between the wheels and the suspension of an automobile. They play an important role in determining the safe operation of an automobile's steering and suspension. In case of failure of the ball joint, the angle of the wheel gets disturbed and uncontrolled, causing the vehicle to halt abruptly and potentially leading to tyre damage or uneven wear.
With regular wear and tear, ball joints gets loose and affect wheel alignment and tyre wear. Loose joints sometimes cause suspension noise, a peculiar clunking sound when hitting a bump. To prevent this, automobile owners must get their ball joints checked at regular service intervals.
Before buying a ball joint, it is advisable to do thorough market search. There are several manufacturers and suppliers of ball joints in the market. Only buy ball joints that are made using the highest quality material and are rigorously tested. The ball joints should feature high static and dynamic load capabilities, promise low fiction and high performance, smooth operation and longer wear.

I have a 2000 ford ranger 2wd, I keep on wearing out ball joints and tie rod ends. suggestions.?
I have replaced upper and lower ball joints, new shocks, tires, inner tie rods outer tie rods. and many alignments. but after about a month the wobble returns to the steering wheel and gradually gets worse. then i am told my ball joints or my tie rods are bad! but they are only a month old. i am lost.
Have you been taking it to the same shop repeatidly?
Do you drive over rough terrain a lot?
Tough to say why this would be a repeating issue most ball joins/tie rods should last for years if they are replaced properly. If your driving excessively rough on the road or have lots of rough roads you take daily then you might be wearing them out a little more then usual but not in a month.
I would recommend taking it to a few different new mechanics and see if they tell you the same thing.
Good luck, hope this helps.
