Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS86567
Keep your front suspension tight and your steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint MK8546 — a direct-fit Ford Ranger ball joint that also fits the 1990 Ford Bronco II, 1991-1993 Ford Explorer, 1990-1993 Ford Ranger and 1991 Mazda Navajo. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage. This front upper ball joint is engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
The ball joint is the pivoting connection between the steering knuckle and the control arm, letting the wheel steer and travel while carrying suspension load. If a worn joint is the cause of clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this MK8546 replaces it. As a Ford Explorer ball joint or a Ranger ball joint, it drops into the listed applications; Mevotech backs it with rigorous in-house and third-party durability testing.
