Product Details
Made to fit the 1982-1993 Ford Mustang GT (Fox), the Front Lower Ball Joint from Whiteline. Position: front. The part number is W53557. Trim named on the listing: GT. The kit contains 1 ball joint. Application note: Standard Replacement.
A loose ball joint can be felt as a vague front end and heard as a knock over bumps. It is also a load-bearing part of the suspension, so a worn joint is worth replacing rather than living with.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 1 hour of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Front Sway Bar Link Kit, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Rear Upper Control Arms for the Mustang.
Features
- Play removed: Takes out the slack of a worn original joint.
- Geometry: Keeps alignment and geometry closer to where they should be.
- Durable build: Made from wear-resistant materials built for heavy loads and constant movement.
- Replacement joint: Restores steering precision and smooth articulation at the control arm.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting lets the part be serviced later.
