Ball joints are essential in a vehicle's suspension system by connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles, allowing smooth movement and steering control. They act as pivot points, enabling the wheels to move up and down while steering left or right. Positioned at the front lower part of the suspension, ball joints help maintain proper alignment and vehicle stability. Without them, driving would be unsafe and uncomfortable due to poor handling and uneven tire wear.
The ball joint (front lower) with code USEP-5135651AD is designed specifically for Dodge Nitro models. This part is black in color and features a metal and rubber construction to ensure durability and flexibility. It presses into the lower control arm and fits on either the left or right side of the front suspension. Two of these ball joints are typically required for a complete replacement to maintain balanced steering and suspension performance.
