Keep steering tight and the front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK500014, the front upper Ford Explorer ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This front upper ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and travel while helping keep the front end located. Worn ball joints can show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear — if the original joint is the cause, this replaces it.
- Sintered bearings: engineered for longer-lasting performance in high-usage passenger, SUV, fleet and working-truck service.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system built with a larger sphere.
- Thicker, stronger flange: designed to resist deformation during installation.
- Knurling: helps ensure a snug fit between connecting points and resists corrosion.
- Ready to install: includes a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin plus a 90-degree SAE grease fitting for simple servicing.
