It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta, 1985-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet and 1978-1989 Volkswagen Scirocco; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

• Direct replacement: precision-engineered to match the design and dimensions of the original components on specific vehicles.
• Durable construction: built from steel with a rubber dust boot and a polymer bearing.
• Threaded, tapered pinch-type stud with a bolt-in housing; includes 3 bolts and 3 nuts plus the dust boot. No bushing, washers, or grease fitting — not greaseable.
• Standard replacement grade that lets you replace the failed ball joint instead of the entire assembly to keep repair costs down.

This front lower ball joint locates the lower control arm to the steering knuckle. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — if a worn ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. A ball-joint press tool is typically required for installation. The listed applications use two; it is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Country of origin: China.
