- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
- Thicker, stronger flange: designed to help prevent deformation during installation.
- Hardware provided: an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut are included, with pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive to help keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant. A 90-degree SAE grease fitting is also included for simple servicing.
A front lower ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension. Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel and uneven tire wear. Other worn components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
