It's a front lower ball joint that links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, supporting suspension load while allowing the wheel to pivot for steering and to travel over the road.
What vehicles does the K6117T fit?

Is this a greaseable ball joint?
Yes. It uses a greaseable socket, so you can push in new lubricant to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear over time.
What are signs this ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a torn or leaking boot. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
Should I replace both front lower ball joints together?
Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. The ball joint is sold individually — this listing is for one ball joint.
