Detailed Description

Part number BJ96145 is a suspension ball joint for the front lower position on the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Dodge Caliber with the original control arm design. It uses a pinch-style stud, a 0.5-inch stud thread diameter, and a 40 mm housing press-fit diameter to match the listed fitment. This ball joint cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500063 and Delphi TC5793 for the same application.

For Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot models from 2007-2017, and Dodge Caliber models from 2007-2012, BJ96145 provides a replacement option for worn or damaged front lower suspension joints. The polymer bearing material and rubber boot support smooth joint movement while helping protect internal components.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring steering and suspension joint movement when the original ball joint is worn.
• Addressing looseness or play in the front lower suspension.
• Replacing a damaged dust boot or contaminated joint assembly.
• Correcting clunking or popping noises from the suspension area.
• Replacing a failed press-in ball joint on the listed vehicles.
