When the time comes to replace your Hyundai ball joint, keep in mind that your Hyundai tie rod might also be due for renewal. Why? Because the Hyundai ball joint works in conjunction with the Hyundai tie rod to keep your car tracking straight down the road, and to keep it turning in a steady arc in the twisties. But let's start with the Hyundai ball joint: The Hyundai ball joint sits at the top of your steering hub (and sometimes at the bottom too) and allows freedom of movement in most directions. However, the Hyundai ball joint keeps things firmly in place in the vertical axis. In other words, the Hyundai ball joint lets your wheels turn and bounce, but keeps them perpendicular to the road at all times. The Hyundai tie rod, on the other hand, attaches the wheels to the steering rack, tugging and pushing on the wheels when you call for a turn. Since the wheels are bouncing and flexing over road imperfections, the Hyundai tie rod flexes so that the steering rack doesn't break whenever you hit a pothole. And don't forget, our other friend, the Hyundai ball joint, allows the Hyundai tie rod to move the wheels. If both the Hyundai ball joint and the Hyundai tie rod aren't in tip top shape, many steering and handling abnormalities can result.
