Help keep your front end tight and steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK5269. This front lower ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1983 Chevrolet S10, 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer and 1983 GMC S15. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The front lower ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheel pivot for steering. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Quick, easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
- Keeps water and debris out: the pre-installed dust boot shields internal components from contaminants.
A worn front lower joint can show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
