Focusing on our front-end suspension, you will read about what we did when we installed the Teraflex Heavy Duty Ball Joints on our 2012 Jeep Wrangler. As most Jeep owners understand, we don’t buy our Jeeps for the ride, and over time begin to feel the shake while hearing the rattle. Of course we attempt to figure out where they are coming from and devising a plan to correct. When I first felt the shake it scared me to the core! The steering wheel shook from side to side and I thought the front end was going to fall off. However, after a little investigation and help from fellow Jeepers that had experience similar things it was determined that it was time to update/upgrade our ball joints.
The current ball joints were worn out, and weren’t keeping a tight firm hold on the front end. This resulted in an extreme shake and shimmy while driving. Hitting the smallest of bumps would send my steering wheel into a violent shake.
However, after installing the Teraflex ball joints, the overall ride of my Jeep improved drastically. Now, the ride is smooth, the steering wheel isn’t shaking and my control over the Jeep is tighter. Regardless of low or high speeds, highway bumps to off-road driving the ball joints made a massive difference. The Teraflex ball joints came from ExtremeTerrain.com and were happy with how fast they were shipped out.
If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to improve your ride, I would highly suggest looking at your ball joints and if necessary replacing with these.
