This suspension ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the wheel assembly. It lets the suspension travel while helping hold the wheel in position. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear and play at the joint. If a worn upper joint is behind those symptoms, MK778 replaces it, whether you are doing a 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota ball joint replacement or servicing a classic Chrysler.
