Dorman 540-090 Front Lower Ball Joint

Dorman 540-090 is a threaded, press-in suspension ball joint built for front lower applications on select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC trucks and SUVs.

Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension ball joint, part number 540-090, is made for front lower positions on a wide range of 2007-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Avalanche, and Cheyenne, plus GMC Sierra, Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL applications. It is also listed for the Cadillac Escalade EXT and GMC Yukon XL 1500. The steel body, threaded construction, and press-in mounting style follow the OE-style layout used on these vehicles, while the included dust boot helps protect the joint from road contamination.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K6541 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Front-end looseness or play from a worn lower ball joint
  • Clunking or popping noises from the front suspension
  • Uneven tire wear related to suspension joint wear
  • Steering instability during braking or cornering
  • Restoring proper front lower suspension geometry on GM trucks and SUVs
