Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension ball joint is built for front lower suspension service on 1978-1992 Toyota Cressida and 1982-1985 Toyota Celica, with a separate 1986 Toyota Celica front lower application noted for vehicles built up to 1/01/86. The press-in mounting type and threaded design match the service requirements of these specific Toyota front suspension applications. Dorman 533-292 is a practical OE-style replacement when the original ball joint shows wear, looseness, or boot damage.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4140 and Delphi TC1680 for the same application. It also cross-references Dorman 533-292 in common catalog searches for Toyota Cressida and Toyota Celica front lower suspension repair.

What It Is Used For

• Front suspension looseness or play at the lower ball joint
• Clunking or knocking from the front end over bumps
• Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension joints
• Steering instability caused by excess joint movement
• Boot failure that exposes the joint to contamination

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this ball joint in the front lower position only on the listed Toyota applications. Because it uses a press-in mounting type, proper suspension service tools are required for removal and installation. Verify the vehicle build date on 1986 Toyota Celica models, since the fitment is limited to vehicles built to 1/01/86. Confirm the tapered stud, castle nut, and cotter pin hole alignment during assembly, and inspect the surrounding control arm and hardware for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this replacement ball joint to match original equipment fit and function on the specified Toyota Cressida and Toyota Celica applications. It is manufactured from steel and tested for reliable service in suspension repair applications.
