What This Ball Joint Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or play at the lower control arm
• Clunking or popping noises from the suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to worn steering and suspension joints
• Steering wander or reduced road feel
• Service replacement for worn OE-style front lower ball joints

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify control arm material and design before installation, since some applications require a steel arm or cast iron control arm only. This part is listed for the front lower position only, so match the vehicle year, make, model, and suspension configuration before ordering. SK80964 is also referenced under part number K80964 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

SKP SK80964 uses a powdered-metal gusher bearing to support grease flow across bearing surfaces and a pre-installed dust boot to simplify service work. The design is intended to replace the original front lower ball joint on the listed Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles while maintaining the correct suspension geometry for the application.
