A ball joint is the pivot point that links the control arm to the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel move up and down with the suspension and turn with the steering. Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability and performance. The line is built for high-usage passenger and commercial vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.

• Superior toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
• Quick installation and easy service: the joint secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided. A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for servicing.
• Larger sphere, thicker flange: an application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere. A thicker, stronger flange helps prevent deformation during installation.
• Tighter grip: knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion.

A worn suspension ball joint may show itself as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the wheel. Inspect the front suspension to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
