Give your front suspension a dependable pivot point with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK9916, a front lower outer ball joint engineered in-house by Mevotech with application-specific upgrades aimed at increased durability. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1992-1999 BMW 318i, 1995-1999 BMW 318ti and 1998-1999 BMW 323i. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
As a suspension ball joint, it serves as the flexible pivot that links the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to move with the suspension and turn with the steering.
- Accurate fit: Designed to press-fit easily and accurately into the larger flange diameter.
- Keeps water and debris out: A pre-installed dust boot helps shield the internal components from contaminants.
- Faster installation: A part-specific nylon locking nut is provided to help speed up the install.
- Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
Supreme designs go through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. Mevotech's Labor Saver™ approach focuses on designs, tools and hardware intended to make installation faster and easier.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and noticeable play at the joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing, and check the wheel alignment after installation.
