The Dorman 539-905 front upper ball joint for the 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra and other vehicles is the pivot between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle, so the front wheel can steer and move with the suspension.
- Part of the Dorman OE Solutions line, made as a direct replacement that fits and performs like the original equipment
- Precision-engineered to the design and dimensions of the original components for a reliable fit
- Made of steel and rubber to strict manufacturing standards, using sturdy, safe materials
- Rigorously tested, with thorough quality control checks aimed at long service life
A clunk or knock from the front end over bumps, steering that feels loose or wanders, and uneven wear on the front tires can mean an upper ball joint is worn. A tired lower ball joint, tie rod end, sway bar link or control arm bushing can give much the same symptoms, so have a shop pin down which part is loose before you order.
This ball joint fits a wide range of Toyota and Lexus models. It is a direct-fit ball joint replacement for the 2003-2024 Toyota 4Runner and also fits the 2008-2022 Toyota Sequoia. If your Toyota or Lexus is not named here, the "Vehicles it fits" section shows the full fitment.
