Frequently Asked Questions
What does this ball joint do?
It connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the front suspension move up and down and steer while supporting load. This unit is the front lower position.
How do I know my ball joint is worn?
Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps or when turning, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is this ball joint greaseable?
Yes. It uses a greaseable socket, so adding fresh lubricant flushes out contaminants to help reduce corrosion and wear over time.
Will this fit my truck?
It fits many 1969-1999 trucks and SUVs from Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, International and more. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make, model and engine.
