Ball joint Sign In

On Saturday, i had to replace upper ball joint so I did but because it is a Honda
i have to change the ball joint and control arm because they are all in one.
Today when i was driving the side i got the control arm fixed I heard a knocking sound.
Could this be it? N I should be able to go back and get it fixed for free?

If the control arm is defective a reputable shop should warranty it. But thats only if thats the issue. Let them have a look and see what they say.

You could have left something loose. You need to get to the bottom of that problem ASAP.

Yea but does the ball joint look right? To me it looks smashed in there.

It's just a rubber boot. It looks like you haven't greased it.

I tryied it didn't work. It happens sometimes. When u change ur control arm do you need to change both at the same time? Cuz I only change the left side cuz bad ball joint.
