Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS60509
Tighten up your truck's front end with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK8432T, a direct-fit replacement that installs in the front upper position on the 1987-1996 Ford F-150, 1987-1999 Ford F-250, and 1987-1997 Ford F-350. It connects the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the front suspension move and steer while helping carry and locate the wheel. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, this suspension ball joint is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, and is backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. If a worn front upper ball joint is the cause of clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, replacing it addresses that source. It also serves as a 1987-1999 Ford F-250 ball joint.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What position does the MK8432T ball joint fit?
It installs in the front upper position on the listed Ford trucks. Ball joints are commonly replaced in matched pairs, so consider servicing both sides for balanced front-end wear.
Is this the right ball joint for a 1987-1996 Ford F-150?
Yes. It is listed for the 1987-1996 Ford F-150, as well as the 1987-1999 Ford F-250 and 1987-1997 Ford F-350. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full details.
Are fasteners and a grease fitting included?
Yes. It comes with an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut, plus a 90-degree SAE grease fitting for chassis lubrication.
What are the signs of a worn ball joint?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can come from other worn front-end parts too.
Does the knurling help the ball joint stay tight?
Yes. The knurling helps avoid distortion and corrosion by creating a snugger fit between connecting points during installation.
