Re: Car has loose ball joint but needs to be driven briefly

It's probably your CV joint that make the noise when you turn. Well, unless your CV joint is incredibly worn, you should be fine. It's not that easy for a CV joint to break apart. Even it does, you still have brake and steering so you still can control your vehicle, but the car probably will not move again after you stopped due to the differential that transfers power to one drive shaft (the broken one) only. Drive gently and slowly, you should be fine.
