Front Lower Ball Joint for 2020-2025 Ford Explorer & More - Mevotech Supreme MS40553

Keep your steering tight and your front suspension planted with the Mevotech Supreme front lower Suspension Ball Joint MS40553 — a direct-fit replacement engineered for the 2020-2025 Ford Explorer and the 2020-2021 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, this ball joint is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, with Labor Saver™ designs and hardware that make the installation faster.

• Superior toughness: patented sintered bearings deliver longer-lasting performance.
• Simple to service: includes a 90-degree SAE grease fitting so regreasing is quick.
• Exceptional fit: a thicker, stronger flange helps prevent deformation during installation.
• Tighter grip: knurling helps avoid distortion and corrosion by ensuring a snugger fit between connecting points.
• A faster fit: a part-specific nylon locking nut is provided.

The ball joint pivots the steering knuckle and connects the control arm to the wheel assembly. A worn joint can show up as clunking over the front end, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — if a failed lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Each ball joint is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
