front balljoint broke

my front rigth side ball joint broke like 5 months ago i put a new 1 and today the new 1 broke...what can cause this???

Upper or lower?

Most of these control arms are lifetime warrantied.. quality of the control arms matter too.

I'll stick with the OEM brand, always. Been through too many cheap imitations. Lifetime warranty is great, but your labor is worth something. Go to the parts store, buy a new one, replace it, then bring back the broken one for a refund - all the while standing in line - NO THANK YOU. I had more than my fill of lifetime warrantied CRAP when Chief Auto was in business in the 80's.

I'm going to guess that this question relates to an upper control arm. The last set of el-cheapos I had made it all the way to two years, driving me crazy with creaks and groans the whole time.

if upper, i'm having a similar problem as you. good ones only last me a few weeks for some reason

[mec.mueka]

is my lower balljoint

Where is it breaking?

[carotman]

Get an OEM Honda one. most aftermarket balljoints are junk.

depending upon how much you have lowered your car, it puts more stress on the arm.

mine isn't lowered at all. if anything, it's probably higher than stock in the front

[mec.mueka]

i have adjs suspen. and what it does is that the screw part stays on the lower arm and the other part that holds the screw stay were it go's
