Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
Heat-treated ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Sealed against debris: a premium boot and a patented pressed-in cover plate help keep contaminants out.
Built with heavy-duty gauge steel construction and designed for OE fit and function, this front lower ball joint pivots the steering knuckle and helps restore vehicle handling. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind your steering wander, clunking, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the K6445 mount?
It is the front lower suspension ball joint, connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can pivot and move through suspension travel.
Is this ball joint greaseable?
Yes. It uses a greaseable socket that lets you add new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear over time.
What are signs my ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps or when turning, steering wander, and uneven or accelerated tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
Which vehicles does the K6445 fit?
It fits many GM applications, including the 1988-1999 Chevrolet/GMC C1500, 1988-2000 C2500/C3500, 1995-2000 Tahoe, Express/Savana vans, and Cadillac DeVille/DTS. See the Buyer's Guide tab.
Should I replace both sides at once?
This listing is for one ball joint. Replacing the matching joint on the opposite side at the same time is a common best practice for balanced, even suspension performance.
