Product Details
Fitted to the 1989 Lincoln Town Car Signature SE (Panther): the Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement. The part number is W53557. Included: 1 ball joint. The listing names the Signature SE trim. Position: front.
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.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 1 hour of work listed. An alignment is required after installation.
Features
- Durable build: Durable materials stand up to high loads and constant suspension movement.
- Serviceable: Includes a grease fitting for future maintenance.
- Replacement joint: Restores steering precision and smooth articulation at the control arm.
- Geometry: Helps hold correct wheel alignment and suspension geometry.
- Play removed: Takes out the slack of a worn original joint.
