Keep steering response tight and front suspension movement controlled with the SKP Suspension Ball Joint SK500103, a front lower ball joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2018 Acura RDX, the 2007-2009 and 2012-2016 Honda CR-V, and the 2016-2019 Honda HR-V.
A front lower ball joint is the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel up and down while the wheel steers. As the joint wears, play develops in that connection, which can show up as clunking over the front end, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause of those symptoms, this replaces it.
Because ball joints wear as a matched pair, inspect and replace the opposite side as directed by the service procedure for balanced, predictable steering. Always diagnose the cause of any noise or looseness before replacing.
