This Front Lower Ball Joint Assy 43330-49185 is a suspension ball joint, built to original specifications. It forms a pivoting connection between the control arm and the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to steer and articulate. A new ball joint removes play in the front end, improves steering precision, and prevents uneven tyre wear. Check for play by rocking the wheel top-to-bottom with the vehicle jacked up, and have alignment checked after replacement.
