Built for vehicles that work hard, the Mevotech Supreme MS40507 rear lower ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2008 Ford Escape, 2001-2008 Mazda Tribute and 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner. It comes with a 90 degree SAE grease fitting and a part-specific locking nut.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability and performance. Supreme ball joints are made for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. As a suspension ball joint, it serves as the pivot between the control arm and the knuckle, letting the suspension move while holding the wheel in position.
Clunking or knocking over bumps, play in the joint, wandering or unstable handling and uneven tire wear are signs a rear lower ball joint may need replacing. If a worn ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application details.
