Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:539-764
Designed to provide a secure pivot point for the front suspension, this Dorman ball joint, part number 539-999, is a front upper replacement built to fit and perform like the original equipment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2015-2020 Ford F-150, 2018-2021 Ford Expedition and 2015-2020 Ford Lobo. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
An upper ball joint links the upper control arm to the steering knuckle. This lets the wheel travel with the suspension and turn with the steering. As the original wears, you may notice clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If a worn joint is causing those signs, this part replaces it.
