Product Details
Whiteline built the Front Lower Ball Joint for the 1982-1984 Ford Mustang L. Chassis code: Fox. Application note: Standard Replacement. Trim named on the listing: L. Included: 1 ball joint. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Part number W53557.
Ball joints carry a big share of the car's weight and the loads from steering and braking. A worn one lets the wheel shift out of position, so replacing it restores precise steering and keeps alignment settings from drifting.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 1 hour of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Mustang, see Front Sway Bar Link Kit, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Rear Upper Control Arms.
