Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS10501
Keep the front suspension properly located and tight with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK6527, a Chevrolet Malibu ball joint that installs as a direct-fit front lower replacement for the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero and 1997-1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details on the full application list. Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, with Labor Saver designs that make installation faster.
Backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. As a load-bearing pivot for the front lower control arm, a worn ball joint can cause clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — if the ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
