Keep the front suspension tight and steering precise with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 540-040, a direct-fit Ford Ranger ball joint for the 2019-2023 Ford Ranger. As the front upper ball joint, it forms the pivoting connection between the upper control arm and steering knuckle, allowing the suspension to travel and the wheels to steer while keeping everything located. A worn joint can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; if the original front upper ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.

  • Direct fit: precision-engineered to the design and dimensions of the original component for the listed applications.
  • Durable construction: built from steel and rubber to strict quality standards.
  • Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control checks support long service life.

This is the Dorman ball joint replacement for the front upper position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
