Check upper ball joint for excessive wear by shaking wheel. If play is evident, replace ball joint.

NOTE: Do not confuse axial play of wheel bearing with worn ball joint.

Check lower ball joint with vehicle under normal load. Place suitable gauge (2967 or 2968) over ball joint. If length exceeds gauge, ball joint should be replaced. See Volvo in SUSPENSION Section.
