Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint fits the 1989-1994 Ford Aerostar XL Plus (VN1). Application note: Standard Replacement. Order it as part number W53557. Placement: front. Included: 1 ball joint.
The lower ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle, and the wheel turns and moves up and down on it. When it wears, it develops play that shows up as clunks, wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. A new joint takes up that slack.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 1 hour. An alignment is required after installation.
