Kia EV6 & EV5 Front Ball Joint
This ball joint fits the front control arm on the Kia EV6 and EV5. It has a 20 mm cone and fits the left or right side.
Replace the ball joint if it has play, the rubber boot is split or grease is leaking, or you hear knocks from the front over bumps. A worn joint can also make the steering feel vague and cause uneven front tyre wear.
This is Febi part number 197832, made by the bilstein group. It replaces Kia part number 54530-L1000.
The EV6 and EV5 are heavy cars, and the front ball joints carry that weight every time you steer, brake or hit a pothole. Replacing a worn joint on its own is much cheaper than fitting a complete control arm when the arm and its bushes are still in good condition. Each joint is sold on its own, so buy one per side that needs it.
Febi is a brand of the bilstein group, a German parts maker that supplies replacement parts for cars and vans across the world. Each part is made to match the original in fit and function, so it fits without modification.
The bilstein group parts finder lists it for the electric versions of the Kia EV5 2025 -, EV5 4×4 2025 -, EV6 2021 – and EV6 4×4 2021 -. The table below shows each power output. Compare the Kia part number on your existing part with the numbers on this page before ordering.
