• Replacement of a damaged or corroded OE-style ball joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1986-1998 Saab 9000 with front lower ball joint application before installation. Confirm the threaded mounting style, 12 mm wrench size, and stud type match the original part. Inspect the surrounding control arm and mounting points for wear before pressing or bolting in the new joint. Because this part does not include a grease fitting and is not greaseable, it is installed as a sealed service component.
