The 30° Banjo Fitting is a common automotive part. The ball joint of a car balancer is a very important part of the car, so if there is a problem with the ball joint of the car it must be replaced in time, so how should the 30° Banjo Fitting be replaced?

1. The importance of the 30° Banjo Fitting

The 30° banjo fitting is a very important part of the direction and connection of the steering wheel, so if there is a problem with the 30° Banjo Fitting of the car, you must find a way to replace it as soon as possible, otherwise it will have terrible consequences.

If there is a problem with the 30° Banjo Fitting of the balance bar, it may lead to an imbalance in the car driving process, which may lead to a serious traffic accident when driving on the road due to avoidance and ultimately threaten human lives.

2. Steps for replacing the 30° Banjo Fitting

Replacing a 30° Banjo Fitting on a car is not easy, first of all we have to lift the car up. Because the ball joint is underneath the car and on the inside of the wheel, it is very difficult to change the 30° Banjo Fitting if the car is not lifted.

Generally speaking, the car is raised to more than 1½ metres for ease of operation, so that the 30° Banjo Fitting can be changed underneath. If you are replacing the inner ball joint, there is no need to remove the tyres. If you are replacing the outer ball joint, the tyres often need to be removed for ease of handling.

Next, use a socket or a special spanner to remove the screws that hold the 30° Banjo Fitting in place.

After the 30° Banjo Fitting has been removed. Only after removing the 30° Banjo Fitting can you replace it with a new ball joint, which is also screwed on one by one. However, there is also a retaining clip above the 30° Banjo Fitting which needs to be dismantled in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to attach the ball joint to the lower swing arm.

3. How often should I replace the 30° Banjo Fitting?

There is no fixed replacement interval for 30° Banjo Fittings, which are generally checked once at 80,000 km and only need to be replaced if they are broken. If the 30° Banjo Fitting is broken, it will cause the steering wheel to shake at high speed and the tyres to wear jaggedly, so it should be replaced in time.

However, for the replacement of the 30° Banjo Fitting, it is best to choose to go to a professional repair shop, because when a novice is replacing the 30° Banjo Fitting, improper operation may cause the ball of the balance bar to rattle. Therefore, it is best to go to a shop that you regularly visit for replacement.
