Acura RSX Ball Joints

A ball joint is a spherically shaped device that ensures a substantial freedom of movement. If you need two connected arms to move in one plane, you use a hinge; the ball joint lets them move in two planes. It’s important for your Acura RSX’s front wheels, which must move up and down while turning right and left. The ball joint consists of three main components, namely a ball stud, a socket, and a boot. The stud’s ball is enclosed inside the socket and is sealed by the boot to prevent contaminants and water from getting inside.

As a suspension link, a ball joint is susceptible to heavy loads and severe impacts every time the wheel hits an obstacle. That’s the reason why they wear out and start knocking. While being seemingly inessential, these knocking and clunking noises give you an important warning. If you don’t replace the worn joints, they will eventually fail, causing loss of control and very serious and expensive to fix problems. Don’t let that happen – in our Acura RSX ball joints & components catalog, you'll find OE-quality replacements offered at reasonable prices. Place an order and have them at your door in no time.
