Hardrace Front Lower Ball Joint Kit for Honda Civic Type R FK2 2015-2017 – Q1396
Restore accurate steering response and dependable front suspension performance with the Hardrace Front Lower Ball Joint Kit for the Honda Civic Type R FK2.
The Hardrace Honda Civic Type R FK2 Ball Joint Kit Q1396 is designed to replace worn original front lower ball joints on the 2015–2017 Honda Civic Type R FK2. Manufactured as an OE-style replacement, this two-piece kit helps restore accurate steering response, suspension control and dependable front-end performance.
Ball joints are an important part of the Civic FK2 front suspension system, connecting the suspension components while allowing controlled movement as the wheels steer and move through the suspension travel. As the original ball joints wear, drivers may experience unwanted movement, knocking, reduced steering precision or deterioration in suspension feel.
Direct Replacement for the Civic Type R FK2
The Hardrace Q1396 kit provides a purpose-designed replacement solution specifically for the FK2 Type R platform.
Unlike universal suspension components, these ball joints are manufactured for the intended Honda application, making them an excellent option when replacing worn or ageing original components.
The kit contains two front lower ball joints, providing replacements for both the left-hand and right-hand sides of the vehicle.
Improved Steering Feel
Worn suspension joints can introduce unwanted movement between suspension components. Installing fresh front lower ball joints can help restore the more precise steering and suspension response expected from the Civic Type R FK2.
Hardrace has designed the Q1396 as an OE replacement component, making it suitable for road cars as well as performance-focused FK2 builds requiring dependable replacement suspension parts.
Maintenance-Free Design
The Hardrace front lower ball joints are designed so that regular greasing is not required.
Their construction is intended to provide smooth and quiet operation without the squeaks or unwanted noise sometimes associated with worn suspension joints.
Why Replace Your FK2 Front Lower Ball Joints?
Front lower ball joints are subjected to continuous suspension movement and loads during acceleration, braking, cornering and everyday driving.
Possible symptoms of worn ball joints can include:
- Knocking or clunking from the front suspension
- Reduced steering precision
- Excessive suspension movement
- Uneven handling characteristics
- Play detected during suspension inspection
- Deterioration in the vehicle’s original steering feel
Replacing worn components helps maintain the correct operation of the suspension system.
