Take up worn steering and suspension play with the Mevotech TTX ball joint (TXK8771T), a front lower joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and the Mazda B2300 (2001-2010), B2500 (1998-2001), B3000 (1998-2007), and B4000 (1998-2004). See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
A ball joint pivots the steering knuckle against the control arm, letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel while keeping the wheel located. If a worn front lower joint is behind clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this TTX unit replaces it. Mevotech's TTX line is engineered for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
- Superior seal: the Integri-Boot design is built into the assembly to lock out moisture and contaminants.
- Simple to service: includes a 90-degree SAE grease fitting.
- Quick installation: comes with an application-specific slotted castle nut and snap cotter pin, plus pre-applied nylok thread adhesive to keep the fastener secure.
It also features an application-specific ball stud with a larger sphere, a thicker, stronger flange to resist deformation during install, and knurling for a snugger fit. Planning a Ford Ranger ball joint replacement? This is a rugged, serviceable option.
