Product Description
The RBK500280 is a front lower ball joint for Land Rover models including Discovery 3 & 4 and LR3/LR4. This component forms part of the front suspension’s lower control arm assembly, allowing the steering knuckle to pivot and articulate smoothly while supporting the vehicle’s weight. Over time, ball joints wear — causing play in the front suspension, steering play, uneven tyre wear, or knocking sounds over bumps. Replacing worn ball joints restores precise steering response and stable handling.
Ball joints should always be inspected during suspension service and replaced before excessive wear leads to accelerated tyre or suspension damage. This part is a direct OE replacement — fits into the factory lower control arm without custom fitting.
