You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 68159271AA fits your vehicle.

Inspect the control arm balljoints for looseness anytime either of them is separated from the steering knuckle. See if you can turn the ballstud in its socket with your fingers. If the balljoint is loose, or if the ballstud can be turned, replace the balljoint. You can also check the balljoints with the suspension assembled as follows. Inspect the upper balljoint by loosening the front wheel lug nuts, raising the front of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands, then removing the wheel. Raise the lower control arm with a floor jack to simulate normal ride height. Use a large prybar inserted between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle to pry upwards on the upper control arm. The manufacturer specifies up to 0.059-inch movement is allowed; a dial indicator can be used to check for play. If you are unable to accurately measure balljoint play, have the balljoint checked at an automotive repair shop. If replacement is indicated, replace the upper control arm; the balljoint cannot be replaced separately. To inspect the lower balljoint, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Place a floor jack under the lower control arm, near the outer end, and raise it until it is supporting the vehicle's weight. Insert the pry bar against the lower control arm or tension strut and pry the steering knuckle up to check for wear. The manufacturer specifies up to 0.059-inch movement is allowed; a dial indicator can be used to check for play. If you are unable to accurately measure balljoint play, have the balljoint checked at an automotive repair shop. If replacement is indicated, remove the steering knuckle or tension strut; the balljoint is press fit in the steering knuckle and tension strut, which necessitates the use of a special press tool and receiver cup to remove and install the balljoint. Equipment rental yards and some auto parts stores have these tools available for rent. If you don't have access to this tool, take the vehicle (or the steering knuckle) to an automotive machine shop or other qualified repair facility to have the balljoint replaced.
