Keep the front end of a hard-working truck or SUV pivoting on a fresh joint with the Mevotech TTX ball joint, part number TXK6477. This front lower ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1995-1999 Chevrolet K1500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe and 1995-2000 GMC Yukon. As the pivot point between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, it lets the front wheel steer and move with the suspension.
Mevotech engineers its TTX line for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It pairs the joint with Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings are built for longer-lasting performance.
- Superior seal: an Integri-Boot design built into the assembly helps lock out moisture and contaminants.
- Quick installation and simple service: a part-specific slotted castle nut and easy-snap cotter pin are provided to secure the joint, and a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for servicing.
- Secure fit: a thicker, stronger flange is designed to prevent deformation during installation. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant, and knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion.
A worn lower ball joint may show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If the ball joint is the cause, this Mevotech TTX suspension ball joint replaces it.
