Product Details
Looking for a front ball joint for your 1984-1986 Ford Mustang SVO (Fox)? The Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint is made for it. Trim named on the listing: SVO. The kit contains 1 ball joint. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement. Order it as part number W53557. Placement: front.
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. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. 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.
Features
- Durable build: Made from wear-resistant materials built for heavy loads and constant movement.
- Geometry: Keeps alignment and geometry closer to where they should be.
- Replacement joint: A replacement ball joint built to bring back accurate steering and free suspension movement.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting lets the part be serviced later.
- Play removed: Removes the play and looseness that worn factory joints develop.
