Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.
Greaseable socket: new lubricant flushes out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear over time.
Premium boot & heat-treated studs: the boot keeps contaminants out, while ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements for improved fatigue strength.
Belleville preload washer & pressed-in cover plate: keeps the bearing package tight as bearings wear and seals out debris to minimize looseness.
Built from heavy-duty gauge steel with precision tolerances for easier installation and steering alignment, this front lower ball joint pivots the control arm at the steering knuckle through suspension travel and steering input. Signs it may need replacing include clunking from the front suspension, wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing.
