Parts for your 2024 Suzuki Splash-Ball joints

2024 Suzuki Splash ball‑joints — are they relevant or used?

Short answer: a “2024 Suzuki Splash” isn’t a thing, so a 2024 Splash ball‑joint isn’t a vehicle‑relevant part. Suzuki’s Splash (sold in some markets alongside the Opel/Vauxhall Agila B) was produced from 2008 into the mid‑2010s and was effectively succeeded by the Celerio. Factory model timelines and workshop literature for the Splash/Agila B confirm that run, there isn’t a 2024 model year in Suzuki’s catalogue for this nameplate.

That doesn’t mean the Splash platform lacked ball‑joints — quite the opposite. The documented front suspension for Splash/Agila B is a MacPherson strut with a lower control arm and a conventional lower ball‑joint, while the rear is a torsion beam without ball‑joints. So when someone says “2024 Splash ball‑joints,” it’s simply not used because there’s no 2024 Splash to fit the part to. For owners of earlier Splash years, ball‑joints remain a standard wear item at the front end and are serviced in line with the workshop manual.

FAQs

Is there a 2024 Suzuki Splash?

No. The Splash’s production run was 2008 to the mid‑2010s (with the related Ritz in India ending later). Suzuki’s model history and parts catalogues do not list a 2024 Splash.

Do Suzuki Splash models use ball‑joints?

Yes. Splash models use a front MacPherson strut setup with a lower control arm that pivots on a ball‑and‑socket joint (the lower ball‑joint). The rear torsion beam doesn’t use ball‑joints.

What should a Splash owner look for when checking ball‑joints?

On earlier Splash years, watch for clunks over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tyre wear, or torn dust boots. Any play at the joint on a proper inspection means replacement. After fitting new joints, a wheel alignment is a good shout for straight tracking and even tyre wear.
