Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint fits the 1991-1994 Ford Aerostar XL Sport (VN1). In the box: 1 ball joint. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement. Part number W53557. Position: front.
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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground.
Features
- Durable build: Durable materials stand up to high loads and constant suspension movement.
- Geometry: Keeps alignment and geometry closer to where they should be.
- Play removed: Removes the play and looseness that worn factory joints develop.
- Serviceable: Includes a grease fitting for future maintenance.
- Replacement joint: Restores steering precision and smooth articulation at the control arm.
