- Tighter grip: knurling helps ensure a snugger fit between connecting points, guarding against distortion and corrosion.
- A faster fit: includes a part-specific nylon locking nut to speed installation.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up and adds longevity.
- Keeps water and debris out: a pre-installed dust boot safeguards the internal components from contaminants.
As a pivoting joint between the control arm and steering knuckle, this ball joint lets the front wheel steer while moving through suspension travel. Worn joints can cause clunking over the front end, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it. Each is validated by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
