Restore tight, predictable steering with the LEMFORDER ball joint (MPN 1548002), a front upper suspension ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle against the control arm while letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1987 Mazda B2000, 1987-1993 Mazda B2200, and 1987-1993 Mazda B2600.
As a front upper ball joint, it locates the top of the steering knuckle and lets it pivot as the wheel steers and the suspension travels. Signs the original LEMFORDER suspension ball joint may need replacing include clunking over the front end, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn ball joint is the cause of those symptoms, this replaces it — diagnose the front end first, since other suspension parts can produce similar signs.
What is this LEMFORDER ball joint and where does it mount?
It is a front upper suspension ball joint (MPN 1548002) that connects the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel through its range of motion.
Does this fit a Mazda B2200 ball joint replacement?
Yes. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1987-1993 Mazda B2200, plus the 1986-1987 Mazda B2000 and 1987-1993 Mazda B2600. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What are the signs of a worn ball joint?
Common signs include clunking from the front end over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
What quality standards does this part meet?
It is built to an OE-grade product specification and passes four levels of testing and technical review, with a smooth rotational torque design for controlled pivot movement.
Should I replace ball joints in pairs?
This listing is for one ball joint. Replacing the matching side at the same time is good practice for balanced steering and wear, though it is not required.
