This suspension ball joint is the pivot between the steering knuckle and the suspension. It lets the wheel steer and travel up and down while holding it in position. Dorman precision-engineers and tests it as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on these trucks.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and excess play at the wheel. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause first. Follow the vehicle service information for removal and installation, and have the alignment checked afterward.
