• Maximum toughness: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance. An application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
• Accurate, secure fit: A thicker, stronger flange is designed to help prevent deformation during installation, and the larger flange diameter allows an accurate press fit. Knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion.
• Simple to service: The 180-degree & 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included.
• Fasteners included: An application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut are provided. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep the fasteners secure and vibration resistant.

Signs this front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and noticeable play at the joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause. If a worn front lower ball joint is the problem, this TTX unit replaces it. Check the alignment as the service procedure directs after installation.
