Keep your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme MK9095 front lower ball joint, a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7, 1977-1983 Mazda GLC and 1979-1982 Mazda 626. It serves as the pivot between the control arm and steering knuckle, letting the wheel follow the suspension and the steering. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, adding application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance. Its Labor Saver designs and hardware are meant to make installation faster and easier.
- Superior toughness: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: An SAE grease fitting is included, so routine lubrication is quick.
- Labor Saver hardware: All essential mounting hardware comes in the box to simplify installation.
- Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
Each design goes through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for strength. A worn ball joint may show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
