Keep the front suspension pivoting smoothly and the steering knuckle located with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 538-773, a front lower direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML320, 2003-2005 ML350, 1998-2001 ML430, 2002-2005 ML500, and 2000-2003 ML55 AMG (All engines). This premium-grade joint drops in for a worn original so you can renew the connection instead of replacing a complete assembly.

  • Steel construction: built from steel with a polychloroprene dust boot and a polymer bearing.
  • Tapered threaded stud: 14 mm stud thread with a 1.5 mm pitch, seated by a press-in (pressed) mount.
  • Non-greaseable: no grease fitting included.
  • In the box: the ball joint, 1 nut, and a locking washer.

Clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs a front ball joint may need replacing; diagnose the cause before ordering. A ball-joint press tool is normally required for installation. Each listed application uses two front lower ball joints — this listing is for one, so order two and replace them as a pair for balanced results. Country of origin: China.
