This page covers the Whiteline Front Lower Ball Joint for the 1983-1988 Ford Thunderbird LX, Sport, Turbo (Fox). Part number W53557. This part is for the front of the vehicle. You receive 1 ball joint. Whiteline”s note for this fit: Standard Replacement. The listing names the LX, Sport, and Turbo trims.

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. Working on the same car? We also list 16mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Ball Joint Boot Kit, and Front Transmission Mount Bushing Kit for the Thunderbird.
