Hip and shoulder are both Ball and Socket Joints
Ball-and-socket joints can be found in the shoulders and hips.
ball-and-socket joints
4: the shoulder joints and the hip joints.
Hip and shoulder joints are two examples in humans of ball and sOcket joints
On a 2000 Lincoln LS : The FRONT suspension is a strut type suspension , so there are ( NO ) upper ball joints
ball joints are parts of the front suspension. outside of the A-Arm
Ball joints should be replaced anywhere between 70,000 to 150,000 miles. Ball joints connect the wheel to the car's suspension system.
I believe on the 4 x 4 , with the torsion bar suspension , the upper ball joints are part of the control arm and the lower ball joints can be replaced separately or with a new control arm The 2 wheel drive , with the coil spring front suspension , the upper and lower ball joints can be replaced separately
On a Ford F-150 : There are ( 4 ball joints ) * 2 upper and 2 lower on the front suspension
they can be because your ball joint is the key to your steering and suspension if the ball joint goes that can be very bad
Dry ball joints/suspension joints. Universal joints going bad. Worn brake pad "squealers".
There are ( 4 ) ball joints on your FRONT SUSPENSION , 2 on the top , 2 on the bottom
Ball joints are a component used to connect the steering knuckle (the part that connects to the hub of the wheel) to the control arms of the vehicle's suspension frame. Ball joint bearings are designed with a ball and socket, similar to a human hip.
I was looking at one of Fords websites and for a 2000 Lincoln LS REAR suspension , as far as I can tell from the drawings , there are ball joints on the top on what they call the " trailing arms "
With the aid of ball joints and steering joints, the knuckle allows the spindle to move up and down for suspension, rotate left and right for steering.
This depends on upper or lower ball joints. If you need to replace the upper ball joints, you must replace the upper control arm. For the lowers, you will need a ball joint press, and some snap ring pliers. Be careful with the spring when taking the spindle apart from the control arms. (spring type suspension) Have to unload the torsion bar (Torsion Bar suspension) You will need a special tool to do this
