Help keep your Jeep's front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Dorman ball joint, part number 540-107, a front upper replacement for the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander. This suspension ball joint is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to serve as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on these vehicles. For engine-specific fitment, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
A ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the suspension travel and the wheels steer while holding the knuckle in position.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and noticeable play at the wheel. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the front end first. If a worn front upper ball joint is the cause, ball joint replacement on a 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee or 2006-2010 Jeep Commander with the 540-107 replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation procedure and have the alignment checked afterward.
