Product Details
Fitted to the 1995-2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R (SN95): the Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint. Application note: Standard Replacement. The kit contains 1 ball joint. Trim named on the listing: SVT Cobra R. This part is for the front of the vehicle. The part number is W53558.
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. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Mustang: Ball Joint Boot Kit, Rear Upper Control Arms, and 26mm Non-Adjustable Rear Sway Bar.
