Give your front suspension a solid, serviceable pivot with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK5333. It is a front lower ball joint that links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Oldsmobile Aurora, 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre and 1997-2005 Buick Park Avenue, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house and adds application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance.
- Sintered bearings: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for routine lubrication.
- Fasteners included: an application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut come with the joint to speed up installation.
- Corrosion resistance: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
Mevotech puts the design through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for strength. Signs a suspension ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and visible play at the joint. Inspect the related suspension components before you replace it.
