    Hello folks, my first post and hoping someone can assist. How do I check the steering knuckle joint on my 2007 Astra?

    I can’t guarantee that this method will help you determine and that it is exactly correct, and not very safe, but I lifted the car in my car in the garage so that the wheel did not touch the ground, climbed into the hole, put my fingers on the ball and asked my neighbour to push the wheel taking it with my hands from above and below, there was such a play on the ball joint that I felt it with my fingers, so I determined that it needed to be replaced.
