Replace a worn front left lower joint with the Dorman ball joint 539-977 from Dorman - OE Solutions, a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2022 Ram ProMaster City. It is the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension. Engine details for each application are on the Buyer's Guide tab.
Position: front left lower. This joint serves one side only, so inspect the right-side joint at the same time. Replacing both sides together is recommended.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing: clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or visible play at the joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause first. If the front left lower joint is worn, this Dorman suspension ball joint replaces it.
Installation tip: follow the vehicle service information for the procedure, the correct fasteners and the torque values. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
