What does a front upper ball joint do?
It is the pivot that connects the upper control arm to the steering knuckle. It lets the suspension move up and down while the wheel turns for steering.
Is the K500450 the right F-150 ball joint for a 2009-2014 truck?
Yes. The 2009-2014 Ford F-150 is a listed application for all engines, and it uses two of these front upper ball joints. See the Buyer's Guide tab for every vehicle it fits.
Is this also a 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator ball joint?
Yes. The 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator and the 2007-2017 Ford Expedition are both listed applications, and each uses two of these front upper ball joints.
Can this ball joint be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so new lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants and help reduce corrosion and wear.
What are signs a ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs are clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the ball joint is the cause before you replace it.
