Help bring back confident steering and handling with the QuickSteer suspension ball joint K8036, a front upper ball joint designed and tested to restore steering and handling to their original performance. It fits many classic Ford and Mercury vehicles, among them the 1964-1970 Ford Mustang, 1962-1969 Ford Fairlane and 1963-1969 Ford Falcon.
A ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel turn as you steer while moving up and down with the suspension. The K8036 is designed for OE fit and function in the front upper position.
A worn Falcon ball joint, or one on any of the listed vehicles, can show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If the front upper ball joint turns out to be the cause, this QuickSteer unit replaces it and helps restore vehicle handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles.
