A ball joint links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, so the wheel can pivot for steering and travel with the suspension. Mevotech builds its Supreme ball joints for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Its Labor Saver designs and hardware are intended to make installation quicker and easier.

• Superior toughness: Sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
• Quick installation: The joint secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin, which are provided.
• Simple to service: An included 90-degree SAE grease fitting makes routine lubrication easy.
• Tighter grip: Knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points, which helps avoid distortion and corrosion.
• Rigorous testing: The design has been through extensive durability testing, both in-house and by third parties.

Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and visible play at the joint. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before you replace anything.
