At Meta Mechanics, we are dedicated to providing high-quality automotive services, and our recent ball joint replacement on an Audi TT Roadster showcases our commitment to safety and performance. Here’s a detailed overview of the issues we discovered during our inspection and the effective solutions we implemented:
Issues Found:
- Worn Ball Joints
- Description: The ball joints were significantly worn, leading to excessive play in the suspension system and compromised handling.
- Solution: We replaced the worn ball joints with high-quality OEM parts, restoring stability and ensuring precise steering response.
- Suspension Noise
- Description: The vehicle exhibited clunking noises over bumps, indicating potential issues with the ball joints and related components.
- Solution: Alongside the ball joint replacement, we conducted a thorough inspection of the entire suspension system, tightening and replacing any additional worn components to eliminate noise.
- Misalignment
- Description: The wear in the ball joints had led to misalignment, affecting tyre wear and handling.
- Solution: After replacing the ball joints, we performed a complete wheel alignment, ensuring proper angles for optimal tyre performance and extended lifespan.
- Grease Leakage
- Description: We found that the grease seals on the old ball joints were damaged, leading to lubrication loss.
- Solution: The new ball joints were equipped with proper seals, ensuring adequate lubrication and preventing premature wear.
- Corrosion on Components
- Description: Corrosion was evident on the suspension components, which could lead to future issues.
- Solution: We treated the affected areas with anti-corrosion spray and provided recommendations for ongoing maintenance to protect against future rust.
