Product Details
Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint is made for the 1983-1994 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. Chassis code: Panther. Application note: Standard Replacement. Trim named on the listing: LS. Order it as part number W53557. Placement: front. Included: 1 ball joint.
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.
Features
- Replacement joint: A replacement ball joint built to bring back accurate steering and free suspension movement.
- Play removed: Takes out the slack of a worn original joint.
- Geometry: Keeps alignment and geometry closer to where they should be.
- Durable build: Durable materials stand up to high loads and constant suspension movement.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
