Mevotech engineers its TTX™ line for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Its Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.

• Built for toughness: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance, and an application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
• Keeps contaminants out: A patented sealing ring locks the boot onto the ball joint housing.
• Accurate, secure fit: A thicker, stronger flange helps prevent deformation during installation, and a larger flange diameter allows an accurate press fit. Knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and resistant to vibration.
• Easier install and service: A custom-designed adapter ring helps the joint go in quickly. The package includes a part-specific slotted castle nut, a snap cotter pin, and 180-degree, 90-degree and plug SAE grease fittings.

Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and excess play in the joint. If a worn upper ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it.
