Application Details

Compatible with 2009-2011 Kia Borrego, front lower. This Dorman 539-822 ball joint is a fitment-based replacement for the front lower suspension on the Kia Borrego and is intended to restore proper joint articulation at the steering and suspension connection point. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme (e.g., MS90509) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive play in the front lower suspension joint
• Clunking or knocking from the front end
• Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension geometry
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Inspection failure caused by worn ball joint movement

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front lower position before installation. The threaded, bolt-in design uses a tapered stud and cotter pin hole, and the included castle nut supports installation on the specified application. Confirm the 12 mm wrench size and mounting hole layout against the original part before service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman engineers this suspension ball joint as a precision replacement and tests it for reliable service on the listed vehicles. The design follows standard replacement specifications for the 2009-2011 Kia Borrego front lower suspension application.
