Mercury Grand Marquis Ball Joints

Ball joints are spherical bearings that enable suspension movement by connecting the control arms to steering knuckles. Featuring the construction similar to that of a human hip joint, these components can be found on every automobile. They allow the suspension to move up and down and the wheels to turn left and right in response to your steering input. Thanks to ball joints, a vehicle can transport heavy loads and go over road irregularities and uneven surfaces, because these connecting components provide a constant contact between the wheels and the road surface.

Ball joint problems usually occur on older autos with higher mileage (100K and more), and your Mercury Grand Marquis is no exception. Squeaking and groaning noises and loose steering are some of the symptoms caused by faulty ball joints. A visual inspection can also reveal a lubricant leaking out of a cracked boot. Never ignore a severely worn-out ball joint as it can cause extensive damage to the suspension system.
