Carry the load with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint BJ85045RD, a front lower ball joint from Dorman's RD ("rugged duty") chassis line engineered for severe-duty service. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Ford F-150, 2004-2008 Ford Lobo, and 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. The front lower ball joint pivots the steering knuckle against the lower control arm, letting the wheel steer and travel while supporting suspension loads; play, clunking on acceleration or over the road, and uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing.
Rugged-duty design: built for vehicles used in off-road work, heavy hauling, towing, and other tough commercial or emergency-service applications.
Quenched-and-tempered steel housing: finished with a protective coating for a more durable, corrosion-resistant part than simple normalized steel.
Hardware included: the necessary hardware ships with the joint and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
Pre-loaded grease boot: where applicable, the joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in a specially-designed boot with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication in place.
