It installs in the front upper position as a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-2000 Mitsubishi Montero and the 1997-2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware are intended to make the job faster, and extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs the strength of this suspension ball joint.
