Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK3145
Restore tight, controlled steering and suspension movement with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK9143 — a direct-fit Dodge Challenger ball joint that also drops into the 1981-1983 Dodge Challenger, 1987-1989 Chrysler Conquest, 1984-1986 Dodge Conquest, 1983-1989 Mitsubishi Starion, 1984-1986 Plymouth Conquest and 1981-1983 Plymouth Sapporo. This is the front lower ball joint: it forms the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel while locating the wheel. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, this suspension ball joint is engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, wandering steering or uneven tire wear, replacing it with the MK9143 addresses that pivot point.
