Vibration after replacing a ball joint on one side can be caused by several factors, including improper installation or misalignment of the suspension components. If the ball joint is not torqued to the manufacturer's specifications, it can lead to play in the suspension, resulting in vibration. Additionally, if the other components in the suspension or steering system, such as tie rods or wheel bearings, are worn or damaged, they can contribute to the issue. Lastly, an unbalanced wheel or tire on the side where the ball joint was replaced may also cause vibrations.
The ball joint in the tie rod end can wear out due to normal wear and tear from driving, road conditions, and lack of lubrication. Other causes can include excessive vibration, contamination from debris in the road, or damage from a collision.
