Keep your front suspension tight and your steering responsive with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK6452, a front upper ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1988 Chevrolet C3500 and 1988 GMC C3500. It pivots between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel while keeping the joint located.
Application-specific engineering: engineered in-house with upgrades aimed at added durability and performance, built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
Quick installation: secures 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 limit rust build-up.
Keeps water and debris out: the pre-installed dust boot helps shield the internal components from contaminants.
Worn ball joints can show up as clunking over bumps or through turns, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed front upper ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it — have the cause diagnosed first, since those symptoms can come from other worn components.
It is a front upper ball joint for the listed applications, connecting the upper control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer while the suspension travels.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. It includes the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin needed to secure it, plus a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for servicing.
What vehicles does this ball joint fit?
The 1988 Chevrolet C3500 and 1988 GMC C3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
What are signs my ball joint may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps or in turns, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing, as other parts can cause them.
Is the dust boot already installed?
Yes, the dust boot is pre-installed to help keep water and debris away from the joint's internal components.
