Ball joints carry a big share of the car's weight and the loads from steering and braking. A worn one lets the wheel shift out of position, so replacing it restores precise steering and keeps alignment settings from drifting.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 1 hour. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list 16mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts and Front Transmission Mount Bushing Kit for the Granada.
