Help keep your front end tight and your steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK3134T. This front upper ball joint is the pivot point for the steering knuckle as the wheels steer and the suspension moves. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1987-2017 Jeep Wrangler, 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at greater durability and performance. The Supreme ball joint line is built for high-usage passenger and commercial vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. MK3134T installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
- Quick, easy installation: the joint secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Simple to service: a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for routine lubrication.
- Accurate fit with a stronger flange: the larger flange diameter lets you press the joint in easily and accurately. The thicker, stronger flange is designed to help prevent deformation during installation.
- Tighter grip: knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help resist distortion and corrosion.
A worn front upper ball joint may show itself as clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the joint. Other suspension and steering parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a worn upper ball joint is the problem, MK3134T replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation procedure and torque values.
