Ball Joint Lower Honda Civic / Acura Integra

The HOWE Ball Joint Lower for Honda Civic and Acura Integra (MPN 22486) is a precision take-apart greasable lower ball joint engineered for vehicles requiring direct replacement of worn suspension components. This press-in ball joint features a 1.373-inch per foot taper, 2.986-inch stud length, and 1/2-20 thread specification, providing exact fitment for Civic and Integra platform suspensions. The low-friction design reduces wear on surrounding suspension geometry and maintains steering response over extended service intervals.

Greasable construction allows for periodic lubrication, extending component life in harsh conditions including salt-air environments and off-road driving. The take-apart design simplifies inspection and maintenance without requiring complete replacement if only partial wear is present. HOWE precision manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent steering geometry and eliminate the looseness that develops in worn OEM ball joints. This unit directly replaces Moog K9802 applications and includes all necessary hardware for installation. At 0.83 pounds, the ball joint integrates seamlessly into existing suspension assemblies.

Intended for Honda Civic owners and Acura Integra drivers who demand predictable steering feel and suspension longevity in both street and spirited driving applications. Fleet operators, driving schools, and performance enthusiasts rely on HOWE ball joints to maintain consistent front-end geometry under sustained cornering loads. The greasable feature appeals to operators who prefer hands-on maintenance control rather than sealed-unit replacement cycles.

Lower ball joints are critical suspension wear items that directly affect steering response, tire wear patterns, and front-end stability. OEM units typically wear within 60,000–100,000 miles depending on driving conditions and road surface quality. Replacement with precision-manufactured units restores factory geometry and eliminates the vagueness associated with worn suspension. HOWE components are known across motorsport and heavy-use markets for durability and repeatability in performance environments.
