What's wrong: The ball joint on the control arm assembly can fail causing the ball stud to wear through the control arm housing resulting in noise and/or separation of the ball stud from the housing.
Why it matters: If there is a separation of the ball stud from the housing, the driver can loose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
