- Maximum toughness: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance, and an application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
- Quick and easy installation: The joint secures to the vehicle with the included part-specific slotted castle nut and easy-snap cotter pin.
- Superior seal: The Integri-Boot design is built into the ball joint assembly to help lock out moisture and contaminants.
- Simple to service: A 135-degree SAE grease fitting is included, and pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant.
A lower ball joint links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, which lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension. Signs that a lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Other front-end parts can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the suspension before you replace anything.
