Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK3145
Help keep the rear suspension properly located with the Mevotech Supreme ball joint MK80612, a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2006 Chevrolet Uplander, 2002-2005 Chevrolet Venture and 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous. This is the rear lower joint, the pivoting connection that lets the suspension articulate while locating the control arm. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades intended for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
Worn joints often show up as clunking over the rear, loose or wandering handling, and uneven tire wear. If a failed rear lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles.
