Keep the front suspension pivoting smoothly and securely linked on the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2010-2013 Hyundai Tucson and 2011-2013 Kia Sportage with the Dorman - OE Solutions Ball Joint 539-801. This front lower ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and is designed to fit and perform like the original equipment.
A ball joint is the pivot point that connects the steering knuckle to the suspension, so the wheel can steer and travel up and down. Dorman precision-engineers and thoroughly tests this unit as a replacement for the factory part.
Signs that a suspension ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this Dorman ball joint replaces it. Inspect the suspension before ordering, and follow the vehicle service information for installation.
