Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK9286
Keep your front end tight and your steering predictable with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint (MK5331) — a front lower ball joint that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can pivot and the suspension can travel. If you've been shopping for a chevy Equinox ball joint, this one drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, plus the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2005-2009 Chevrolet Uplander, 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek and many more GM models — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, Mevotech Supreme ball joints are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, and are validated with extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. Worn ball joints often show up as clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it.
Is this the right Chevrolet Impala ball joint?
Yes — the MK5331 is a direct-fit front lower ball joint for the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala. Confirm your exact year, make and model on the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
What position does the MK5331 install in?
It's a front lower ball joint, connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can pivot and the suspension can move through its travel.
What is a suspension ball joint and when does it need replacing?
It's a pivoting joint between the control arm and steering knuckle. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps at the front, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
Is mounting hardware included?
Yes — a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin are provided to secure the joint, along with a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for servicing.
Should I replace both ball joints at the same time?
They're sold individually. Many technicians replace the pair on the same axle together for balanced wear, but replace whichever side your inspection shows is worn.
