Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint fits the 1988-1994 Ford Aerostar Eddie Bauer. You receive 1 ball joint. Position: front. Chassis code: VN1. Whiteline part number: W53557. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement. Trim named on the listing: Eddie Bauer.
The lower ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle, and the wheel turns and moves up and down on it. When it wears, it develops play that shows up as clunks, wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. A new joint takes up that slack.
Expect a difficult job of about 1 hour. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground.
Features
- Play removed: Removes the play and looseness that worn factory joints develop.
- Durable build: Durable materials stand up to high loads and constant suspension movement.
- Replacement joint: Restores steering precision and smooth articulation at the control arm.
- Geometry: Helps hold correct wheel alignment and suspension geometry.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
