How each kind of joints makes bone move?
Some of your most popular joints like the hinge, ball-n-socket, sliding, saddle, and the pivot joints are very important in your skeletal system. Your hinge joint makes you able to move in only way, just like a hinge. Your hinge bone is in your knuckle, elbow, toe, and your knee. Your ball-n-socket joint lets you move freely in every position. If you ever throw or kick a ball you have to use your shoulder joint and your hip bone, which are your two ball-n-socket joints you have in your body. Next are your sliding. Some of these bones are in your neck, where your fingers meet your hand, also where your toes meet your feet, ankle, and last is your wrist (this is one of your most common kind of joints.

Hinge joint allows movement in a certain spot to take place. This joint is similar to the opening and closing of a door. Some examples of hinge joints are the elbow, knee, ankle and joints between the fingers. Hinge joints allow the body parts to bend and straighten.Ball and socket joints allow twisting and turning movements. In a ball and socket joint, one of the bones has a rounded head which is the ball. The other bone has a cup-like area that is known as the socket. Some of these joints are the shoulder and the hip. The shoulder joint is the most flexible joint in the entire body. It allows movement in any direction.Pivot Joints allows turning. In the pivot joint, the bone turns in a circle (or half-circle). An example is the neck, which allows partial turning of the head at about a 180 degree angle.Gliding Joints lets bones move back and forth against each other. An example of this is the backbone, or the vertebrae. The bones in the backbone can move freely move against each other, allowing a person to move in a wide range of motions with their spine.There are three types of joints; synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic.The three types of joints are:1.Synarthrosis - immovable joints.Example: Sutures - joints between plates of the skull.3. Amphiarthrosis - partially moveable joints.Example: between individual vertebrae of the vertebral column.2. Diarthrosis - moveable joints that permit various rotations, extensions, flexions, etc.Example: knee joints, hip joints, elbow joints, etc.
How do you change the upper ball joints on a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe?
The easiest way is to first remove the one bolt in the ball joint and unattach the small wire clamped to the side. Remove the cotter pin and big ball joint nut. Use pickel fork to break free from steering knuckle. Next, get a small grinder and grind off the heads of the three rivets to where they are flush with the ball joint surface. Since you will be throwing the ball joint away, it won't matter if you damage it slightly. After you have grinded the rivets down, remove the ENTIRE upper control arm. It is held by two bolts that has nuts facing away from the center (mine required a 7/8" socket, I believe, and 1/2" breaker bar but were easily removed and not frozen). You might have to disconnect a little of the cowling. I would keep up with how many threads are showing on those bolts since you don't want to over tighten them when you put them back on to allow for movement. After you have removed the control arm, place it in a bench vice and, with the ball joint still attached, punch the rivets out with a punch and hammer. DO NOT REMOVE THE BALL JOINT FIRST, if you remove the ball joint first, it will cause the rivets to mushroom on top and make it difficult to travel through the control arm. After the rivets have been removed, replace the ball joint and reattach the control arm. I tried to replace the ball joint with it control arm attached, and it was a be-atch. I ended up having to remove the control arm after HOURS of agony.
