[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 366973, member: 4527"] Normally ball joint does not just seize up without giving out symptom. Look at those huge wheels on the Lexus. The ball joint is actually connected to the steering tie-rod where alignment is perform and when steering is turned, the steering rack shaft will push this ball joint in/out to steering the wheels. The bigger the wheels, this ball joint will be more stressful. Always pay attention to knocking sound from the floorboard and knocks that transmitted to through the steering when u crossing humps or uneven section of the road. If this ball joint is loose, another possible symptom is alignment will start to become erratic. Technically the safety pin will prevent the nut from coming off, yet the looseness should still be felt by the driver. I see many irresponsible foreman didn't put back the safety pin, very dangerous.
