What It Helps Fix

- Inspection failure caused by excessive joint wear
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify front lower fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This press-in ball joint uses a threaded design and includes mounting hardware; it does not include a grease fitting, castle nut, cotter pin, bushings, or washers. The tapered stud and 12 mm wrench size should be matched to the vehicle’s service procedure, and the control arm should be inspected for wear before pressing in the new joint.

Dorman manufactures this ball joint as a tested replacement part for specific OE applications. The design focuses on fit, function, and durability for Land Rover front suspension service.
