Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK9286
Keep your front end tight and steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK5269. This front lower ball joint drops in as an S10 ball joint replacement for the 1983 Chevrolet S10, S10 Blazer, GMC S15 and S15 Jimmy, plus the 1979-1985 Buick Riviera, 1979-1985 Cadillac Eldorado, 1979-1985 Oldsmobile Toronado and the 1980-1985 Cadillac Seville — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
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.
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.
