Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS50522
Keep the front suspension on your Mustang II tight and predictable with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK8209, a front lower ball joint that ties the steering knuckle to the lower control arm so the wheel can pivot for steering and move with the suspension while helping support and locate the front end. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1974-1978 Ford Mustang II, the 1974-1980 Ford Pinto, and the 1975-1980 Mercury Bobcat.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for added durability, and this line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Each joint is put through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. Common signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or popping over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear — if a worn ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
