Statement of the Problem: How do we fix a loose ball joint that doesn’t work anymore? The problem of having a loosened ball joint is that it affects the control of the arm in a car drastically. A drastic affect a loose ball joint has on a car would be that it stiffens the suspension of the car Hypothesis or Essential Question
Replacing the said loose ball joint could fix our problem because it would replace the loose/broken one with a new one that works properly. A possible solution for our groups problem is to replace the ball joint.
Materials:
The materials we used for this project were Ball joint replacement kit or the Ten80 kit. Procedure:
The steps we took to do this project were as follow; the first step was prep the work area. Park on a flat surface and block both rear wheels, front and back. Jack both front wheels off the ground and support the vehicle with jack stands. Chock the back tires to make sure nothing will move anywhere while you're working. The second step required for this …show more content…
If a ball joint is worn enough, and the vehicle was previously aligned, it might be wise have the vehicle realigned.
Results (Data:
For our project it actually came out really well and proved our hypothesis that if
* You may attach a separate sheet(s) if necessary.
* All tables, graphs and charts should be labeled appropriately Conclusions:
We accept that our hypothesis of that replacing the loosened ball joint in the car would help better the car since the ball joint ball would be loosened and wouldn’t work properly. Why accepted it because of the fact that with a loosened ball joint it would make har for the car to steer properly and be able function in the right way . One of the main things we were looking for while testing the car was to see how straight the car would drive within certain distances. Eg. 50m , 75m and
