Keep the front suspension tight and steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint MK6292, engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It pivots the front upper control arm against the steering knuckle, allowing controlled suspension travel and steering motion. This front upper ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.
Backed by rigorous in-house and third-party durability testing. Signs the original ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front tire wear. Sold individually; front upper ball joints install as a pair, so ordering both sides for even wear is good practice.

How do I know if my ball joint is worn?
