Product Details
For the 1983 Ford Mustang Turbo GT (Fox), Whiteline makes the Front Lower Ball Joint. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement. Included: 1 ball joint. The listing names the Turbo GT trim. It goes on the front of the vehicle. The part number is 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.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 1 hour. An alignment is required after installation. Working on the same car? We also list Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Rear Upper Control Arms, and 26mm Non-Adjustable Rear Sway Bar for the Mustang.
Features

- Play removed: Removes the play and looseness that worn factory joints develop.
