Help your front suspension pivot and steer the way it was designed to with the Dorman ball joint 533-239, a front lower joint that forms the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle. It is listed for many models from Ford, Lincoln and Mercury, among them the 1979-1993 Ford Mustang, 1986-1997 Ford Aerostar and 1992-1994 Ford Crown Victoria.
Dorman precision-engineers and rigorously tests this suspension ball joint as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles.
Signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and noticeable play at the joint. Other suspension and steering parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing, and have the alignment checked after installation.
