Description

Upper Ball Joint for the front axle steering knuckle (swivel housing) assembly.

The knuckle pivots on an upper and a lower ball joint; this upper joint forms one of the two pivot points that let the front wheel assembly swivel for steering while carrying suspension loads. It is a common wear item – play here causes steering wander, knock over bumps and uneven tyre wear, and the joints are usually renewed in pairs with the lower joint FTC3571.

The front upper ball joint retaining nut is NY214043.
