2-part video that shows a loose lower ball joint installed and removed.

Part 1 of the video shows pulling/pushing on the steering knuckle and illustrates how a worn/loose ball joint moves in place. When a ball joint is worn out, steering is affected because the wheels cannot maintain a straight line with the balljoint unable to stay in a set position.

Part 2 shows the old ball joint removed and how it can be moved by hand. A new ball joint is then shown in comparison and is much more firm and behaves like a ball joint should.
