Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play from worn ball joint or bushings
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Ride quality changes from a fatigued lower control arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front left lower placement before installation and inspect adjacent suspension components for wear. Because the ball joint is press-in and the assembly is non-adjustable, proper alignment should be checked after replacement. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering GS861279.
