Product Details
For the 1991-1997 Ford Aerostar XLT Sport (VN1), Whiteline makes the Front Lower Ball Joint. The listing names the XLT Sport trim. The part number is W53557. In the box: 1 ball joint. Application note: Standard Replacement. 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.
Expect a difficult job of about 1 hour. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground.
Features
- Replacement joint: Restores steering precision and smooth articulation at the control arm.
- Geometry: Keeps alignment and geometry closer to where they should be.
- Play removed: Takes out the slack of a worn original joint.
- Durable build: Made from wear-resistant materials built for heavy loads and constant movement.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
