Description

Restore a tight, controlled link between the rear upper control arm and the knuckle with this Dorman ball joint. The Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 540-009 is a rear upper ball joint that drops in as a direct replacement on many vehicles, among them the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus, 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full fitment list.

As a pivoting joint, it lets the suspension move through its travel while keeping the wheel located. If a worn ball joint is behind the clunking, looseness or uneven tire wear you're chasing, replacing it helps restore a solid connection.

Direct replacement: engineered to install and perform like the factory joint on the listed vehicles.
Reliable fit: precision-engineered to the design and dimensions of the original component.
Durable construction: built from steel and rubber using sturdy materials to strict quality standards.
Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control checks support a long service life.

Inspect the opposite side as well; replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
