Where is this ball joint located?
This is a front lower ball joint. It connects the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to steer and move through suspension travel while carrying load.
Does it come with a grease fitting and locking nut?
Yes. A 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included for easy relubrication, and a part-specific locking nut is provided to help speed up installation.
How do I know if my 2008 Ford Escape ball joint is worn?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can come from other worn suspension parts too.
Should I replace both ball joints at once?
Ball joints wear at similar rates, so replacing the matching side at the same time is a good practice for balanced handling. This listing is for one ball joint.
