It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball joint mount structure and a ball joint mounting method, which can distribute grease between an outer periphery of a shaft and a sliding contact surface of a lip while preventing the grease from being supplied into a mount hole. The inventive ball joint mount structure includes a grease retaining groove (55) provided in a portion of a lower surface (52b) of a knuckle arm (51) spaced a distance from a peripheral edge of a knuckle hole (53) for retaining grease (G). After a shaft (12) is inserted into the knuckle hole (53) to bring an upper end portion (5a) into contact with the lower surface (52b) with the grease (G) retained in the grease retaining groove (55), the ball stud (4) is fixed to the knuckle arm (51). |
