Description

Tighten up your front suspension and help keep steering precise with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 538-790, a Dorman ball joint that serves as the front lower pivoting connection between the control arm and steering knuckle. This Dorman suspension ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2016 MINI Cooper Countryman and 2013-2016 MINI Cooper Paceman — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.

Direct replacement: engineered to fit and perform like the original equipment on the listed applications.
Precision-engineered: matched to the design and dimensions of the original components for a reliable fit.
Steel and rubber construction: built from sturdy steel and rubber materials to strict standards.
Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control measures support long service life.

As the front lower ball joint, it allows the suspension to travel up and down while the wheel steers, keeping the knuckle located. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking over the front suspension, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
