Keep your front suspension tight and steering responsive with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 544-845. This front lower ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2020-2023 Ford Explorer and the 2020-2024 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (All engines), pivoting the control arm against the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and travel while staying located. Precision-engineered and rigorously tested, it lets you replace the worn joint instead of the entire control-arm assembly to help cut repair cost.
Steel construction: built from steel with a polychloroprene dust boot to help keep contaminants out.
Press-in design: threaded, tapered 16 mm stud with a clockwise (right-hand) thread and a 16 mm wrench size; a ball-joint press tool is normally required for installation.
Pre-greased polymer bearing: ships pre-greased with a polymer bearing and no grease fitting (not greaseable).
Hardware included: comes with the ball joint and a locking nut.
Worn ball joints can show up as clunking or knocking from the suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Both listed applications use two per vehicle, so it's sold individually — order two to replace the front lower joints as a matched pair. Country of origin: Turkey.
