SKP Suspension Ball Joint P/N:SK80662
Keep your front suspension tracking true with the SKP Suspension Ball Joint SK80228, the front lower pivot that links the control arm to the steering knuckle for controlled suspension movement and precise steering. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2004 Acura RL, 2004-2008 Acura TSX, and 2003-2007 Honda Accord — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
A worn front lower ball joint can produce clunking on bumps or during turns, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and loose or wandering steering. If a failed ball joint is the cause, this SKP unit replaces it and helps restore proper wheel alignment. Replace in pairs where recommended for balanced handling.
