The ball joint is the end fitting of a gas strut that allows it to pivot when mounted on a ball stud. If your door or bonnet is falling, the gas strut is "popping" when opening, or its end fitting is cracked, has excessive play, or falls off the ball stud, these are classic symptoms of a damaged joint. A faulty mounting means the strut is unable to support the weight, which is not only inconvenient but, more importantly, risks the door or bonnet falling suddenly and causing a serious injury.
If you are replacing a gas strut, always fit new ball joints. An old, fatigued joint can crack quickly and damage the new strut.
Before fitting the new joint, check if the ball stud on the frame is worn or corroded. A rough surface will quickly destroy the new socket.
Screw the joint onto the strut's piston rod until you feel resistance. Using excessive force can damage the thread in the plastic body.
Answer: Yes, it could be if the joint is cracked and falling off the stud. More often, however, the cause of a falling door is a worn-out gas strut that has lost its pressure.
Question: Can I glue a cracked joint?Answer: Absolutely not. This is a safety component that is under constant tension. Glue will not provide adequate strength, which risks the door or bonnet falling suddenly.
Question: Why did my new joint wear out quickly?Answer: The most likely cause is installation on a worn, corroded, or scratched ball stud. Its uneven surface acts like a file on the joint's internal socket.
