Front upper and rear upper fit: cataloged for the front upper and rear upper ball-joint positions on the listed applications.
Pivoting connection: links the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension move through its travel while the wheels steer.
Signs it may need replacing: clunking from the suspension, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear can point to a worn ball joint.
A ball joint is the loaded pivot that lets the suspension move and the wheels turn. If a failed ball joint is the cause of the symptoms above, this unit replaces it — diagnose the cause first, since play and noise can also come from other steering and suspension components. Inspect the corresponding joint on the opposite side and follow the vehicle service procedure.
