Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK3145
Keep your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint, part number MK8059. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1965-1972 Ford Country Squire, 1965-1972 Ford Custom and 1968-1972 Ford Custom 500, and the Buyer's Guide tab has the full list and engine details. This front lower suspension ball joint connects the suspension to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance.
A worn ball joint can cause clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension first, because other parts can cause the same signs. If the front lower ball joint is the cause, the MK8059 replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
