Keep the front suspension located and the steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Chevrolet Malibu ball joint (MK6145T), a front lower suspension ball joint engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It fits a huge GM run including the 1970-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, 1975 and 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, 1977-1985 and 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala, 1977-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, 1992-2001 GMC Jimmy and many more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Superior toughness: patented sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
Quick, easy installation: secured with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting.
Tighter grip: knurling helps avoid distortion and corrosion for a snugger fit between connecting points.
The ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheel steer while keeping everything located. A worn joint may show up as clunking or popping over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear — if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing the left and right joints together is good practice for balanced handling. Backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my Chevrolet Malibu?
Yes — MK6145T is listed for the 1975 and 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, along with many other GM cars and trucks. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year.
What does a ball joint do?
It connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the suspension to move up and down and the wheel to steer while keeping the front end located and controlled.
What are the signs a ball joint needs replacing?
Common signs include clunking or popping over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes. This ball joint comes with a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin, plus a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for easy servicing.
Do I need to replace both sides at once?
It's sold individually, but replacing the left and right ball joints together is good practice for even, balanced handling. Order two for a complete front pair.
