Ford Edge Ball Joint Replacement
Sometimes it is the correct way to repair a ball joint by replacing the entire control arm. A previous repair to this Ford Edge that came in for an alignment failed by using a lower quality ball joint replacement. This particular control arm had issues with the ball joint socket stretching when the joint is replaced. This particular vehicle had the ball joints pop out of the control arm while driving. I know NAPA doesn’t even offer the ball joint separate from the entire control arm.
