Dorman precision-engineers and rigorously tests this suspension ball joint to serve as a dependable replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications.
A front upper ball joint links the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the knuckle pivot as the wheel steers and moves with the suspension. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs a ball joint may need replacing. Other worn parts can cause similar symptoms, so have the suspension inspected before you order. If a worn joint is the cause, this 1995-2002 Lincoln Town Car ball joint replaces it in the front upper position.
