Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS40548
Help keep the steering tight and your front end planted with the Mevotech Supreme Front Upper Ball Joint MS25573, an application-engineered ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front upper position on the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2022 Ram 2500 and 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. This suspension ball joint pivots the upper control arm against the steering knuckle so the wheels can steer and travel while carrying front suspension loads.
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 help speed the install.
Worn ball joints can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear; if a failed front upper ball joint is the cause, MS25573 replaces it.
