Keep steady steering and secure front wheel control with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK8561T — a direct-fit Ford Ranger ball joint that pivots the front lower control arm against the steering knuckle. It installs in the front lower position on the 1989-1990 Ford Bronco II, 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1989-1997 Ford Ranger, 1994-1997 Mazda B2300, 1994-1997 Mazda B3000, 1994-1997 Mazda B4000, and 1992-1994 Mazda Navajo. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Quick installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
  • Serviceable: a 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included so the joint can be re-greased during service.
  • Tighter grip: knurling helps avoid distortion and gives a snugger fit between the connecting points.
  • Corrosion resistance: a protective surface treatment helps guard against rust build-up.

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. Clunking or knocking from the front suspension over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear are signs that may point to a worn ball joint — diagnose the cause before replacing.
