Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability and performance. Supreme ball joints are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Mevotech's Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.

  • Superior toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
  • Quick installation: the joint secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
  • Simple to service: an included 180-degree SAE grease fitting makes routine lubrication easy.
  • Tighter grip: knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion.
  • Rigorous testing: the joint goes through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for performance and strength.

A worn lower ball joint can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear or noticeable play at the joint. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the lower ball joint is the problem, MK6145T replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
