Ball joints are a safety critical component that also have a vital role to play in ensuring driving comfort. They can often be damaged on poor quality roads and parts specialist febi has highlighted several components that it says motor factors are seeing especially high demand for at present.

The parts are made up of a flexible ball and socket, which forms the pivot between a vehicle’s wheels and steering, allowing movement change and vibration damping to enhance driving comfort. Because of the role they play, quality is vital when it comes to replacement.

febi follows strict specifications and stringent quality checking across its range, ensuring precision and first time fit. Only top quality steel and OE grade rubber are used in the construction to ensure a long service life.
