QuickSteer Suspension Ball Joint P/N:K8560T
$40.99

Steady up worn steering and clunky front-end play with the QuickSteer K8560T Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint. This Ford Ranger ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1990 Ford Bronco II, 1989-1997 Ford Ranger, 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1992-1994 Mazda Navajo, and the 1994-1997 Mazda B2300, B3000 and B4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine details.

Designed for OE fit and function, it locates the front upper control arm and lets the knuckle pivot for steering and suspension travel.

  • Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal Problem Solver bearing lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction.
  • Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
  • Heavy-duty gauge steel construction with heat-treated ball studs to match or exceed OE requirements, plus a premium boot that keeps out contaminants.

Precision tolerances are built in for straightforward installation and steering alignment. If a worn front upper ball joint is behind your loose steering, wandering, or clunk over bumps, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling. Sold individually.
