Ball Joints

UK 1998 Isuzu.

Has had a rattle from nearside fron wheel area for many months particularly when going round a long right hand bend, been unable to find anything, no apparent play in steering, drive shaft or suspension, little bit in wheel bearings but servicing vehicle today, I found top suspension arm ball split and grease underneath it, lower ball joint showed grease underneath. Could not detect any siginficant play in them is grease underneath ball joint indicative of wear in them? I suspect it may be.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hmmm, rattle? This could be caused by the exhaust pipe, muffler, etc getting close to a fixed surface due to the bend.

Good luck

You might see if you shock absorber top cover is loose and rattling against the sway bar. My 99 Amigo was doing this when I bought it. The noise went away when I replaced the shocks. Andy
