What It Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or looseness from a worn upper ball joint
• Excessive play in the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension joint wear
• Steering wander caused by degraded ball joint articulation
• Inspection failures tied to worn front upper suspension components

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, model, and front upper position before installation. The bolt-in, threaded design uses a tapered stud and includes a cotter pin hole for secure fastening. Because this unit is non-greaseable, routine service is limited to inspection of the dust boot and joint condition during suspension checks.
