Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS10501
A worn chevy Tahoe ball joint often shows up as clunking over bumps and vague, wandering steering — the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK6509 is the front lower ball joint built to replace it. It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1996-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1996-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and K1500 Suburban, 1996-2000 Chevrolet K2500 and K3500, 1996-1999 GMC Yukon, and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
