Description

Replace a worn front upper pivot and help keep steering response precise with the SKP Suspension Ball Joint SK6540. This front upper ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for many GM trucks, SUVs and vans, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe.

A ball joint is the pivoting link between the control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the suspension move up and down while the wheels steer. Whether you are shopping for ball joints for a 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or another listed application, SK6540 is cataloged for the front upper position.

Smooth, controlled movement: Designed to support smooth suspension travel and precise steering response for a more controlled drive.
Tested construction: Made with high-strength materials and rigorously tested to stand up to demanding road conditions.
Low friction, wear resistance: Engineered to minimize friction and resist wear. This is intended to help extend component life and reduce how often you need a replacement.
OE-level design: SKP builds these joints so they meet or surpass OE specifications. By supporting proper wheel alignment and smooth suspension, they help contribute to a safer, more comfortable ride.

Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
