Keep the front suspension properly located and tight with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK6527, a direct-fit front lower replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic and 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am. See the "Vehicles it fits" section 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.
- Quick, easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for easy lubrication.
- Resists corrosion: protective surface treatment helps guard against rust build-up.
- Keeps water and debris out: the pre-installed dust boot shields the internal components from contaminants.
Backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. As a 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.
