Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:540-032
Replace a worn pivot point in your front suspension with the Dorman ball joint, part number 540-065. This front lower joint links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2008-2010 Chevrolet HHR and 2007-2010 Pontiac G5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
This Dorman suspension ball joint is precision-engineered and thoroughly tested to serve as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles.
A front lower ball joint may need replacing if you notice clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. Other suspension and steering parts can cause the same signs, so inspect the front end to confirm the cause before replacing. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, and have the alignment checked after the work is done.
