Hardrace Front Lower Ball Joint Set – Volvo S60, V60, S80 & V70

Sharpen front-end response and replace worn OE front lower ball joints with this Hardrace OE-style pair for Ford Mondeo Mk4 and related Volvo P3-platform cars (S60, V60, S80 and V70).

These front lower ball joints are designed as an OEM direct replacement. Hardrace positions them to give a more accurate feel through the steering versus tired original joints, with a sealed OE-style design that does not need regular greasing and is intended to run without the noise or squeaks associated with worn links.

The kit mounts in place of the factory front lower ball joints as a direct OE-style fitment. It is sold as a two-piece set so both sides can be renewed together.

Best suited to road and fast-road use where you want tighter, more consistent front-end feel without moving to an adjustable or pillow-ball geometry kit. Confirm your lower wishbone material before ordering — this set is not for aluminium-type OE wishbones, and it is not for XC70.
