Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:540-045
Keep your Hummer's steering tight and its suspension planted with the Dorman ball joint 540-095. This lower ball joint drops in as a direct replacement for the 1995-2001 AM General Hummer and the 2002-2004 and 2006 Hummer H1 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full application list.
A ball joint is the pivoting connection between the control arm and steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel while the wheels steer and carry load. Cataloged for the front lower and rear lower positions, this Dorman suspension ball joint provides that pivoting connection when the original wears out. Signs a Hummer ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — if a worn ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Replace it as directed by the vehicle service procedure.
