Product Details
The Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint fits the 1984-1993 Ford Mustang LX (Fox). In the box: 1 ball joint. Part number W53557. Placement: front. The listing names the LX trim. 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.
Expect a difficult job of about 1 hour. 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.
