Help keep your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint, part number MK8676. It is a front upper ball joint engineered in-house, with application-specific upgrades for durability and performance. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994 Ford Explorer, 1994-1997 Ford Ranger and 1994-1997 Mazda B4000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Mevotech builds its Supreme ball joints for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Its Labor Saver™ design approach is intended to make installation faster and easier. A ball joint is the pivoting connection that lets the wheel steer while it moves up and down with the suspension.
- Simple to service: a 90 degree SAE grease fitting is included, so lubrication is a snap.
- Tighter grip: knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points, helping resist distortion and corrosion.
- Labor savers added: all essential mounting hardware comes in the box to simplify installation.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps guard against rust buildup.
This ball joint design goes through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for strength. Signs that a front upper ball joint may need replacing include:
- clunking or knocking over bumps
- wandering or loose steering
- uneven tire wear
- noticeable play in the joint
If a worn ball joint is the cause, the MK8676 replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information for installation and torque specifications.
